Just a thought...

So. Yesterday while painting my new bathroom chocolate brown (or what Cameron rudely deemed "dookie" color--who says that!!?), I was teasing my dad about taking my mom and us getting small matching tatoos in a hidden place. He replied, "What you choose to do in moderation, your children will do in excess". Ummm...and why hasn't this been said before?!! I really liked it though. It is profound, real, an eye opener, a good gauge of when to abstain from something...just really wise. So, thanks Dad. I'll nix the tatoo thought :)

What you choose to do in moderation, your children will do in excess

Ok I agree to a point but then again My husbands father smoked like a freight train and because of that he won't touch a cigaret. and my best friend had an alcoholic father and she won't touch alcohol. SOOOOO! it can also be in reverse too!!
