Daddy, what do these words mean?
December 28th, 2009 by Marc A. Pitman
Eating dinner with the kids tonight, my 7 year old daughter asked me if they could ask me they could repeat the all the words they’re not allowed to say and ask me what they mean.
What an interesting dinner discussion! Fortunately too, they didn’t throw me any curve balls.
We covered definitions, etymology, gestures. And why people use them even if my kids can’t.
I was so proud when the conversation moved into how God wants us to use our words. And how we can use our words to tear others down or build others up.
I was even more proud when my 7 year old daughter pulled out Wise Words For Moms. This is a useful matrix of negative behaviors, probing questions, and Scripture with to show how to put off the bad and put on the good. But my 7 year old daughter read it to her brother and sister.
My heart is very full right now.
(Even more so because she said the title should’ve said “Moms and Dads.”)
