reason #63 it is hard to raise a 5 year old with a teenager

We regularly talk to Anderson, our resident teenager, about how he must be very careful about what he says in front of his brother; that he has to keep his conversations within earshot of Bennett at a PG rating. His conversations with us, his parents, can be PG 13.

Anderson generally does a good job with this. But occasionally, something slips, and Bennett, being the sponge that he is, soaks it right in and inevitably repeats it.

Tonight, there was an advertisement on TV for the Miss America Pageant. Parading across our television were young, beautiful women in their two-piece bathing suits. And this is what I hear:

"They're hot! I like them in their bikinis!"

And no, it wasn't from the 13 year old.

Bennett was reprimanded for using the word "hot" when refering to pretty girls. We told him that is not an adjective he can use for many years. The same goes for the word, sexy.

And even though Bennett said, "Wow! I like that show! I want to see that!", I can assure you he most certainly will NOT be watching the Miss America Pageant this year.
