He was using swear words. I pulled him aside and told him I don't like that and he will be sent outside if it continues. His response floored me. "why should I listen you you if you are not mad, I mean you are smileing?" I can see and hear how his parents raise him and I don't like it. I wish it was so easy to see how I raise my own three year old. I had the neighbor boy visiting who was seven. He was using swear words.
