Cute Kid/Happy Parent Moment: Bad words in commercials

[azurelunatic]

The Little Fayoumis is watching TV right now. Advertisements came on. He went and got a drink, then sat back down to wait for his show. I was emptying the pencil sharpener, and was overhearing rather than listening.

It was an advertisement for some Cinderella-themed movie, with a smooth male voice-over talking about how a girl had discovered she was a princess -- and then the girl's voice: "Shut up!", in the "You have got to be kidding me!" tone.

Suddenly, silence.

"I've heard enough bad words in commercials!" said the Little Fayoumis, sitting there with the remote. He has evidently learned about the mute button.

Hee. Hooray for good taste.

this is a Good Sign, and in case you hadn't picked up on it... that is *so* indicative of your influence.

i think your habit of assessing something and then dismissing what doesn't fit into your preferred view has Taken Hold. this is a wondewrful gift he will have for the rest of his life, since it was implanted so early.

iow.. you done good, girl-friend! ;)

We've taught him to think for himself. This is not going to go over well in school, I think... at least not in the "You will sit still and behave yourself" ways.

I hope he gets enough good teachers who appreciate that he thinks for himself.
