Cursing Baby
Glen and I have both made the mistake of cursing in front of Jack, and then winced when we heard a high-voiced little "oh shit!" coming back to us from the car seat (am I the WORST PARENT IN THE UNIVERSE to secretly think a toddler cursing is slightly hilarious?).
I've tried to temper my language in front of the little guy with the big ears, and I think it's working. I haven't heard any bad words from Jack's lips in a while, but he's doing a lot of Grandma-style cursing lately that I'm told he gets from me:
"Oh my word!"
"No big whoop!"
And tonight at the square when he saw some dog poop on the sidewalk: "Oh my heavens, poo!"
I think a lot of people think a cursing baby is funny. :D I remember kids used to try and get my brother to say truck because he couldn't do the "tr" sound and used "f" instead. Of course he didn't know what he was saying, just that he was making the big kids laugh. sigh.

We all have done it Missy. When Gareth was about 2 he curesed his other 2year old friend. Saying God Damit Mason, because Mason took his car. I was mortified about this! I've heard Viola say shit once or twice.
