Random Conversation with My Kid about Profanity










Leaving the theater the other day after watching Iron Man 2

Shan: “Why was that movie rated PG-13? They only said ‘sh*t’ twice during the entire movie. I said ‘sh*t’ more times than that walking in here.”

Random Conversation with My Kid about Genetics











Happy Birthday Shan!!

Recalling a conversation we had a couple of weeks ago...

Me: “I realized something about you the other day – you get both your best and worst qualities from your dad and me.”

Shan: (wry look and shrug) “Okay. Like …?”

Me: “You get your beautiful eyes and generous spirit from your dad. You get your great smile from me. Well, he has a great smile too, so you got double-gifted on that one.”

Shan: “Awww, you do both have great smiles.”

Me: “Thanks. As for the badness – you get that mule-headed stubborn streak from your dad. And your insane roller-coaster mood swings…”

Shan: “From you!”

Me: “Well, duh.”
