Come on, nimrod!!!

H1's latest phrase. Just another example of why one should not swear when around impressionable children. Over the past two point five years I have tried to reduce my use of various forms of profanity and substituted with words such as idiot, numbskull and nimrod.

It's paid off. Yesterday while waiting behind a rather irksome driver at a roundabout, H1 pipes up (completely unprompted) from his car seat "COME ON NIMROD!"

I'm just proud as punch.

Nimrod?! That's awesome.

My three year old can swear like a wharfie, no thanks to the fact that non directed expletives are my chief form of stress release, and I am as addicted to them as a smoker is to nicotine. I've had to get inventive with my expressions of frustration when driving too.

Now she asks me "There's another eeediot Mum!" when we're driving along in the car and spot a P plater. Slightly less offensive words AND letter recognition. Am Mum of the year.
