BFD

It is officially time to make a better effort at watching what I say around the boy. The girls have learned that when Dad says certain phrases or starts ranting like a sailor on leave, they probably shouldn't repeat that. I have made a great error with Conner. He was in the living room, and he had left his shoes and clothes in a pile after changing - something he no doubt learned from Abbey. I explained to him that they needed to be in the laundry room. When I say that I explained, I mean that I used a loud tone of voice. The tone that makes the neighbors feel that they need to call DSS. He looked at me without moving off the couch and said, "BFD, Dad, they are fine right there." Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the Father of the Year.
