Nothing but my Views & Rants

“Girls drink too much and are slutty” is what I heard from my almost 6 year old’s mouth early this morning. And where did he pick it up? From the radio. I had National Public Radio on while driving him to school. Since the fall fund raiser is on the program content is vastly reduced, so I switched to another FM channel and got to hear in the news “school bus driver jailed for having sex with girl student”. I quickly changed the channel to one of my husband’s favorite since my son likes the songs on that channel. I was not paying attention to was the announcer was saying until I heard my son laugh aloud. I asked what happened and he said “girls drink too much and are slutty”. I’m sure he doesn’t understand the words, but just that he heard it due to my carelessness make me want to howl.

Since I got to hear a number of praise for my son. One parent whose child is in my son’s class called me to say if we could meet since she wanted to talk about him. I was worried that he may have misbehaved with her chilld. When I met her Saturday at a school function I was pleasantly surprised to hear, that she was astonished to see how focussed my son was in school. She volunteers at his school and said in all her years of volunteering and also seeing her own children and their friends, she has never met such a focussed child. She wanted to know what we did special with him.
Parents of children from his swim team told me that he is a very good role model for younger children!!!!. He is five and half himself, younger children than him having a role model sounds strange, but it seems when other older children in the team misbehave he tells the younger ones not to emulate them.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
