Quinton Quotes- Curses and Hand-him-downs

Yesterday:
Q: "Mom, is 'dumbass' a bad word?"
Me: "What?"
Q: "Is-- ohhhhh I get it, dumb ASS.  Yeah, that's a bad word."

Today:
I think I said the word "crap," as in, "If there wasn't so much CRAP in your room, that would have been easier to find."
Q got excited, and I thought it was because he was going to say I owed him money for cursing.  He might have been going to say that, but then he said, "Hey, Mom... can we curse, since just you are me are home?  Like, if no one else is home, can you and I curse?" He looked so hopeful.  I have to admit, it sounded kind of fun, but of course I couldn't agree to that.
Me: "No, that's probably not a good idea."
Him:  "The other day, I almost said a bad word, but I said 'FUNK.'  I said 'funk' instead of 'fuck.'  Oh shoot!"

Mom, it's so unfair.  All of Gregory's things are hand-him-downs.  They're all from Roderick.

Q: Awwwww.  Why could I not time travel... and fix everything that's wrong with my hair.

The Kind of Reader I Am

I'm the kind of reader who starts a book and if she likes it, will choose reading it over most other things.
Why?
I want to learn as much as possible, is one reason.
The faster I can do that, the better.
I don't want to lose the story line.
In a way, I owe it to the book.  Right?

Books I've started recently and couldn't stop til I was done:
One for the Murphys (Fall)
Olive Kitteredge (earlier this month)
This current book I'm on, How to Survive a Plague.

I just have to see what happens.
