    I tried to not swear when my son was born, but that lasted about 3 days. After that, I always spoke freely in front of him.

    Today, he’s 27, and NEVER swears. He just doesn’t do it, never did. His friends don’t swear much either. They all saw it as another unseemly thing that older people do.

    Let me preface this by saying I don’t know shit about shit, leastways medical shit, so this is probably completely stupid:

    His immune system developed like this from the beginning, and it know no other way. So it just works.

  • Best parenting advice: Love what your kids love, and your kids will love you.

    I once saw a guy in a suit, having lunch with his teenage skater-kid son in Chipotle. The line wound past them, so I could hear the kid telling his dad all about the latest episode of Dragonball Z in excruciating detail, as the Dad nodded absently, and looked like he wanted to die.

    I went home and told my son my “Love What Your Kids Love” philosophy, and said that when he was young, if he had wanted to talk to me in excruciating detail about some dumb anime thing, I would have…had to cut him loose. Sorry, I just couldn’t do it.

    He thought that was hilarious. He hates anime.
