Daughter is grown now....son is 13 and already wearing a size 11 shoe...take lots of videos.

Reminds me of my first daughter. I was painting her bedroom and she wanted to help. Keep in mind she had been watching me for quite sometime. I gave her a brush and said she could practice first (she was around 3 years old) then maybe try some paint. So she started swishing the wall and I hear, "Damn it." She bent down and rubbed the carpet with a rag. I stood there for a minute as she started to paint again. She stopped one more time and said. "Damn it." Rubbed the carpet with a rag. She was imitating me painting. When a spot of paint would drip to the floor I would say, "Damn it." then use a rag to clean it up. She thought this as part of painting. I told here not to say that in front of her mom!! I learned that it really is monkey see, monkey do.
