Out of the mouth of Eli

It's not surprising how much kids pick up on in the way you act and talk. Both Amy and I are always on our best behaviour around them in an effort to encourage them to not pick up our bad habits.

Eli picked up one of our 'slips' a couple of nights ago when we having dinner and repeated "Oh bugger!" over and over at least 20 times (very clearly) while smirking at how clever he was. Audrey filled in for us by trying to encourage him to say "Oh dear", but her requests went unnoticed and the Oh buggers continued. Fortunately by the next morning they'd worn off (for now)

Naughty little cuss words,
'Bother''dash'and 'blow'
lead to many wuss words
take us down below.!!!

But it is very sad to listen to some of the young folk as they go past on the way to school. They seem to only have one word to describe anything.What are the parents and teacher like!!!
