funny things kids say

I still cuss. I think I'll continue to cuss even as Sarah gets older, since I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I might change my mind. I will wait and see.

When I was a kid, I knew my parents cussed when I wasn't around, and they knew I cussed when they weren't around. But we weren't allowed to cuss around each other. Does this make sense? No, it makes no sense. It's stupid -- just monumentally stupid.

Kids cussing in public or around strangers is an issue of good manners. I wouldn't do it myself, and I'll expect the same of her. But I'm damned sure not going to tell her not to do something that I do myself. That's just hypocrisy.

Like I said, people say that I will change my mind, so I'm keeping an open mind about it. But that's how I've reasoned it out intellectually.
