Third Grade Lessons on the C-Word
October 4, 2011 – Posted in: Kid Friends, Mouths of Babes, Newt, Okay That's Funny, Personal InsanityWe've tried pretty hard not to cuss around the kids. In part because my now-8-year-old son, Newt, had a mimicking issue as a younger child. When he started saying, "Shit," we blamed it on my mom. When he pointed out the semi "Frucks" -- with a very soft "r" -- as we were driving down [...]

Sing Like No One’s Listening…Unless I’m Around
August 31, 2011 – Posted in: Crazy Tammy, Family, Kid Friends, Mouths of Babes, Newt, Parenting, Personal InsanityThere's some sort of music coming out of my son constantly. Con-stant-ly.

He hums while he's eating. He whistles while he's drawing. If he [...]
