'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm game, Hec. The problem would be to pick among the many onerous things I'm not doing.
It can be a small thing. Keep it simple. I think it's helpful not to try to do all of them, but just break the deadlock.
Just one thing, and then if that gets you going all the better.
I am going to have to buy the edited version too.
I am also enjoying Rihanna's necklace, which could also use an edited version: [link]
So at what age is it OK to expose your children to music with naughty words? When they're smart enough to know when it's inappropriate to use those naughty words, right? What age is that?
Now that I'm all caught up from the weekend's Natter:
Happy birthday, sumi!!
Happy belated birthdays, ChiKat and Hil!!
Wow, India sounds great, DJ!
I've got a half-day PTO both today and tomorrow, and am waiting to hear if I can take a full day on Thursday (one of my coworkers' computers is dying on her, and me taking the full day off is dependent on her having a computer to do the morning load, otherwise I have to come in and do it).
Man, I hate the Elmo-red hair on her.

When they're old enough to know better than to blurt it out at, like, church.
I assume he will be listening to it on his own before I am comfortable being around him with it on. I wouldn't listen to music with curse words in it now with my parents, because they do not curse and would object to it. Hopefully when he is a grown ass adult I'll be ok.

Relatively early. There have been studies that show that kids use curse words just as often and to the same purpose that adults do. The rule with Emmett is that he can talk that way with his friends but not around adults, and he understands that rule.
And I've never really cared if he hears F-bombs in movies or music. He knows what the words mean, and sometimes you just gotta sing along with Eminem.

Which is entirely dependent on the individual kid and the parents' definitions of what constitutes swearing.
(There's also that window when they're babies and you don't watch your language around them at all until one day you realise they *are* paying attention to the lyrics and maybe you should take "First of May" out of the JoCo playlist for family car trips...)
