Carter has been having trouble with a kid that rides his bike home from school the same way that he does. He's older and tends to use a vocabulary that we do not use at our house. Well Carter didn't know what any of those words meant so he was repeating them to other kids as they rode home. Luckily a neighbor boy knew to tell his mom what Carter had been saying. That afternoon I got a text to talk to Carter about some words he was saying on the way home from school. When I asked Carter about it, he said that he was saying those words, but didn't know they were bad, and didn't know what they meant.
How do you teach a kid what words are bad? Do you make them a list, give it to them, and then tell them not to say these words? I guess you can say I'm learning how to parent...
Well today my friend calls me and says that her boys were still laughing at something Carter did after school today, so she thought she would call to let me know. She said that when the boys were on their way home from school they passed by the kid that says the naughty words; and Carter turns his head in the opposite direction of him and says in a really deep voice; "Silas, this is God speaking...You need to quit cussing." and then rides off. The other boys said that Silas just looked around and didn't know who said it.
I know Carter learned a lesson from this, and maybe Silas will think he really heard God.
