Parents … practice what you preach because there’s no fooling your kids. They are smarter than you think. 
There’s No Fooling your Children

I am a Christian husband and father, who moonlights as the minister for the church of Christ in Childress, Texas. My wife Lea and I have been married for 23 years. We are doing our best to raise our 4 boys, who are all growing up way too fast.
That is one of the funniest things I have seen. There is absolutely no fooling kids, especially mine.
Mine either!

Funny cartoon … and so very true!
I’d used the term, “dadgummit” most of my life. I suppose it is slang for something much worse, but I never thought of profanity and then using this word in it’s place. It’s just a word I use in extreme frustration. When I was preaching in Florida, the church secretary was teaching my daughter’s Sunday School class (she was in pre-school) about not using cuss words. Jessica told her, “My daddy cusses all the time!” Turns out, she thought my use of “dadgummit” was profanity. I stopped using that word. For the most part. At least around her until she grew older.
My kids are still a little young for this, but I know they are watching.

I’ll the blessing of going through this again… most likely. See, I have a sister and brother who are 11 and 17 years younger than I am respectively. And then I’ll go through it again with my own kids.
Also, I learn a lot about the rest of the church while children’s ministry too. :>)

Marshall … I’m sure you’re an excellent example for you younger brother and sister.
Where u thinking “our kids r smarter than we think” @ 4am?
What I was thinking this morning at 4 can’t be said in public. HA
The part-time preacher @ our church says if u think it, its the same as saying it.
I don’t like that guy.
