Leading by example.

Today as we were leaving school, Sydney pointed to a little boy with dark brown hair and a Leggoland t-shirt, and said “See that guy, he’s a total asshole.”
I politely pointed out that we do not go around calling people ‘total assholes’. That ‘asshole’ was a grownup term that she shouldn’t be using for a good 8-10 years still. Besides, I asked, what’s so bad about him?
Sydney: He likes to stick his hands down the back of his underwear and then pull them out and rub the hair of all the girls in my class.’
Me: Jesus! What an asshole!
Syd: Totally…
As usual, this one got a nice out-loud laugh. Always a pleasure when sitting in a room full of otherwise silent people, who now just keep looking at me like my laughter might have been the first signs of some incurable infectious disease. If only people weren’t so uptight. Then again Germany wouldn’t be quite the same if they weren’t…
Thanks for making me snort water…
Awesome!!!

Omg, that was effing funny! This is exactly why I love reading this blog, it’s NEVER dull!
I love the honesty of kids. I think her assessment is pretty tame - imagine what we “adults” would say if someone did that to us. I’d use something alot stronger than “asshole.”
