Language Lessons

Sal Di Stefano shares a hilarious story about his two-and-a-half-year-old son, Aurelius, who has picked up some colorful language from his mother, Jessica. Despite their efforts to stay calm and not react, Aurelius continues to use the word whenever he struggles with something, much to their amusement and concern 1. Justin Andrews adds his own experience with his son, who picked up the word "stupid" from a friend's child and then hilariously corrected Justin and his wife, Katrina, when they used it themselves 2. These anecdotes highlight the challenges parents face in managing their children's language and behavior.

It's wild how kids watch their parents react. They pick up on everything, even the smallest things we don't realize we're saying.
