They, on the other hand are fined 50 cents. I have collected only once, from DD1. I paid each of them 140 and 80 cents respectively over the past year. I have a hard time parting with money so this has been a good incentive for me!! BTW, you are back in the running for MotY 2008!!

I am one of those who believes we assign far too much power to words and take far too much offense to certain arrangements of letters. That being said, I have taught my kids, just like you are teaching Julia, that there are times and places one should never use certain language. In front of grandma is one, when you are three is another. With teens in the house I don't fret over the dalliance with the bad words of their childhood. Yes, yes, we now say STUPID in this house and no one gets a mouth washed out with soap. But I do remind them that it's not okay to use words which just can't make me flinch in other places. I think it's a good life lesson for them. Brilliant.

John just says "No, I said Tucker, yeah Tucker!" (our dog) and for now, Jaxon still buys it. However, he has taken to saying "Dammit!" in perfect context and inflection. And "shit" - usually hushed. Sounds exactly like I do when he says it. Nicely done!
