Someone once said, kids say the darnedest things. People say we're teaching kids, but the reality is, they're teaching us. I overheard a young child in the grocery store yesterday. It was in the check out line. The young one was tugging on his mother's sweater & out of the mouth of that babe I heard, "Mommy are all people butting in line ******** Everyone turned to look. "Shhhhhh", she said, "honey, they might hear you!" I thought, what the hell, those kind of people should know better than to set that kind of example with small children around! Someone once said, kids say the darnedest things. People say we're teaching kids, but the reality is, they're teaching us.
