Something I learned today...
I can no longer swear while I'm driving.
I stalled the car at a busy intersection today, and reflexively said, "Shit." From the backseat I hear my almost 20-month old son say, "ssssssssssit. ssssssssssssssset. ssssssssshet." He didn't quite get the word, but he kept trying. I couldn't get him to stop by telling him no, that it was a bad word and mommy shouldn't have said it. So, I just tried to redirect him, "Lucien, what does a dog say?"
That worked, but I've got to change my ways. I know who is listening.
