I agree that a child will ingrain whatever you say into their memory banks...It's kind of funny and shocking all at the same time when you hear them utter those 4-letter words, but yes, it is embarrassing and not acceptable either...
...And yes, again, it starts with the parent and the people that child is around on a daily basis...
I too, although I have no children yet, have been trying to be a lot tougher on myself with my "character that shines through in crisis situations"...I've been curtailing my bad words, and my rude, impatient actions...
There is nothing you can do to change anything that has already happened, but you can certainly change your reactions to them...
Great post and thanks for the submission into the Blog Carnival!
