If it shouldn't be heard by little ears...

Damon was across the street playing with his friends today. I was sitting on our front porch when I heard Damon say to his buddies, "I'm going to get the hell out of here."

I called him over and told him not to talk like that.

"What? I just said I was going to get the hell out of there."

I explained that hell was a bad word and we're not supposed to say it.

"Hell? You say 'hell'."

Oh. Well. In times of extreme provocation--

I thought I only said that when the kids couldn't hear me.

New resolution: no more swearing, and I mean it this time.

Shame, Shame, Shame

On the fact that Damon is incredibly good at addressing himself and you are limiting him.

I wish Jenny Jo had a blog.... Does she?... I bet she has a few "unquotable quotes". Awesome!

K...I feel a little better now about Nicholas' recent swear word use. :) It's humbling isn't it?

You are wonderful....unplugging toilets, debating the benefits of sugar, or washing a million dishes on Thanksgiving Day. Thanks for journaling!!!
