Watch Your Mouth

A friend of mine enjoys regaling us with stories of his children when they were younger. And sometimes not that young. The one story he tells starts off in the car on the way to some meeting that he's running late for, with aforementioned child in the back seat. He's obviously in a hurry and driving a bit faster than the other traffic. As he pulls up behind a car, a little voice in the back pipes up "Get off my daddy's road, you idiot!". Gives us a bit of insight into Allan's driving habits. (not that Allan, the other Allan).

I've always found that story funny (Allan does tend to repeat the funnier stories. I'm not sure if it's because they are the funnier ones or because he's getting old), and make a mental not to watch my mouth around TLT. Well, last night Jade was on the way to a meeting, with TLT strapped into the back seat. In her lane is a truck that's not going quite as fast as it could, and definitely not as fast as Jade would like. After checking carefully for cars all around her, Jade pulls quickly around the truck in a quick burst of acceleration that drew harsh criticism from the little passenger in the back, who shouts out "Mommy, stop driving like a moron!".

Mental not to self - stop speaking around TLT. At least until she's 19.
