How can I … ?

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Coco

How can I tell my son to watch his language when the Metro system has a poster-sized advertisement that includes the phrase “go to hell”?

How can I teach my son to drive carefully when a local government representative only got a “warning” for driving over 100 mph on the beltway on her way to an “appointment”?

How can I teach my son about good sportsmanship when the defensive players on the Redskins were paid a “bounty” for “taking out” opponents?

How can I convince my son that smoking pot is not an acceptable recreational activity when a state lawmaker wants to sell it at state-run liquor stores to generate revenue?

    Which is why we teach out kids that the Good Book must be our standard. Not always easy, though. My past is riddled with offensives. I openly share with my kids about my past (craziness of youth. ugh) to teach them how NOT to go about certain things.

    As a son of a mother, he'll be OK.

    As a daughter of a mother, .. what David said.
    My mom never smothered me with rights and wrongs and I think I turned out ok 🙂
