JUST WHEN YOU START TO THINK YOU AREN'T SCREWING THEM UP TOO MUCH

I am sitting here working on 1,000 words for "Best Ways to Educate Your Child."

Out comes Grace in a purple skirted bathing suit, high heels and jewelry. She struts her stuff through the kitchen saying, "I am soooo sexy."

I threw my article in the trash bin b/c I am pretty sure listening to Justine Timberlake on repeat play last year isn't the best way to educate your child. Which is really the only way she can know "sexy." I threw that word out of my vocab when the first stretch mark appeared five years ago. Why that word sticks in her mind rather than all the other wonderful words that I actually taught her, I will never know. I do know that I am choosing a new topic for my article. Maybe something I know a bit more about.
