Well, I just scared my kid. |
|
She saw me ranting at Dobson and Frist on my television, and she now associates them with the words "blasted idiots", "dangerous" and "scary."

It's good for her to see you yelling at your TV.

Consider yourself lucky you didn't call them what I usually call them when I see them on TV. Of course, I don't have any kids, so I don't have the automagic parental mouth-filter that you probably have.
You could always tell the active parents at work by the way they swore at their computers when they had problems. Me, there's been a few times I've been lucky that the boss wasn't around to hear me when I accidently did exit-no-save on 4 hours work.

I don't want my five-year-old heading off to preschool armed with the knowledge that certain public figures are fucking assholes.

7. Don't sweat it...teach them while they are young |

My 5 YO daughter's teacher called to inform me that my daughter used the word moron at school. I asked what she said, and she told me my kid said "Pres. Bush is a moron, Mommy says so". I figured at least she used the word correctly.

When Liddy Dole opened her mouth on CNN today and lied from the get-go, I yapped "You Bitch!" at the television. I shocked some people.
