The "Beep-ing" Red Car

If you know my hubby, you'd know that he's very relaxed around Matty. He never even tries to control the language he uses around him, or think twice about the kind of music he plays in the car. I don't remember how many times I've told him to stop using certain words around Matty because sooner or later he'd pick it up. But what do I know right? Why would my hubby listen to someone who has the same parenting experience as him? I guess my hubby prefers to learn from real life experience.

The other day just as we were about to watch a Lightning Mcqueen DVD with Matty for the first time, Matty all of a sudden said "the fxxking red car". Not entirely sure what we heard,  we asked Matty to repeat what he said again, and it was then that the "F" word flowed out of his little innocent mouth. My hubby who was trying to stop himself from cracking up asked Matty one final time. After Matty repeated "the fxxcking red car"  again, Matty started laughing. Yes, I must admit it was a funny moment. But as parents we all know that if we laughed with Matty, we would only  encourage him to use the word again and again. So to limit the damage caused by my hubby, we put on a serious a face and told him that it was a naughty word, and he cannot use it again.

Don't know if Matty will listen. I just hope my hubby has learned his lesson.
