I thought that when I had a child I became a "grown up". As he grew, I realized that he taught me how to be young and enjoy every little thing that life has to offer. Ever hear the term "Look at life through the eyes of a child".? There's a lot to be said in one small phrase. Don't you think? I use to say that I cant wait till Im grown then I can do what I want and wont get told what to do. When you are old enough to make decisions for yourself, sometimes they aren't the best choices. Having someone constantly tell you how old you are and its time to start acting like a grownup... Are you grown if your being treated as if your not? So that statement is pretty redundant. As long as you learn, then its well worth what it took to get there. Children are like sponges and soak up everything that is put in front of them. If I have a choice and I do, I think I will be like Peter Pan and stay forever young. In age, I am grown, in my mind thanks to some very well placed child behaviors I'll wait a little longer to be grown. Im having too much fun trying to figure out wether or not I want the "grown up responsibilities " or just fake it when needed.

I think yes there is a time and a place for swear words...in some ways the use of strong 4 or more letter words can be quite effective and may very well be life saving. especially where women and children are concern...

Swear words should NEVER be used when speaking to children or in any professional manner...that tends to show your level of intelligence.
