We may be doing something right after all

We're driving our oldest son to soccer practice while the boys are engaged in a movie in the backseat. Mind you, it only takes 5 minutes to get to the soccer fields from our house, but the boys start a movie in the event they get bored in that 5 minutes' time, ya know.

So... the boys have their headsets on and they're laughing at this particular scene in the movie, when we hear these words escape the little man's mouth...

"I'd just kick him in the nu... uh... I mean I'd just kick him in the privates."

We are about to turn around and correct him when he catches his mistake in mid-sentence. It's like he was feeling the heat from our disapproving glares before we even had a chance to react. How's that for effective parenting? Thank God for little boys with a conscious!
