At the same time, since my oldest entered the third grade a couple of years ago, we've had a number of conversations about the "s" word, the "b" word, and all sorts of other things as he's heard them on the playground at school. What I've consistently told him is that there are the right environments for such things and the wrong environments for such things and he needs to learn what those are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-1125339012871819602005-08-29T11:10:00.000-07:002005-08-29T11:10:00.000-07:00Hi Judi,I can imagine you would have had a convers...Hi Judi,<BR/><BR/>I can imagine you would have had a conversation after that.Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-1125338619826695162005-08-29T11:03:00.000-07:002005-08-29T11:03:00.000-07:00While driving along with my 12 year old daughter a...While driving along with my 12 year old daughter a few days ago, someone cut us off, missing us by just under two feet.

After I turned away so I could laugh, I eventually relented and she was able to see her movie.
