Mr. O doesn't talk yet, so the extent of his cursing and swearing has so far been limited to looks like this. Although, I guess since I don't have a clue what "dah, dah, dah" means, I may be very wrong about this.Still, it would be an understatement to say my interest was piqued this morning when I heard, while giving Mr. O his breakfast, that NPR was going to air a story about children and swearing.
I had to hear this because of a recent story from a friend, who in the midst of a crisis which involved his child using dog poop as a palate cleanser, found his boy repeating the words Dad was screaming in germ-ridden horror.
So, I listened... to Mr. O's dismay. He yelled "dah, dah, dah" throughout. Hmmm.
And, what did I learn? Don't swear in front of your kids, but don't freak out when your kids do swear because that's just the way things go.
Hey, I heard it on NPR, so it must be true.
In all seriousness, it's a funny piece.
MEMO TO NPR: Maybe you should do a story about 33 year olds who still use $#@%& when signifying curse words for fear their mothers might read it and scold them.

A certain gentleman of our mutual acquaintance told me about the "incident". Do you suppose Mr. S bathed both himself and his child in Lysol? Hahahahahahahahahahaaha.
