As young parents you often wonder how much your kids really listen to your converstations outside of what you say directly to them. Of course you have to mind your P's & Q's because they are like little sponges and record players; but it is when they repeat something with the same emphasis that you have said it, at sometime in the past that really catches you off guard.
Case in point: While driving in a strip mall to find a particular resteraunt Matt and I are discussing where it could be...Brenden must have thought Matt was getting worked up and promplty responds "Dad, calm down!". Of course as I am laughing Matt's response to me is..."that just isn't right". Kids hear more than we think they do.
