Like most parents, we learned early that it pays to be very careful what you say in front of toddlers. When our daughter was about 18 months old we were driving along when another driver cut in front of us. "Stupid idiot!" my husband muttered. Immediately from the backseat we heard a tiny voice pipe up with "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"
"Sweetie," I said, "that's not a very nice word. Daddy shouldn't have said it."
"Yeah," she answered without missing a beat, "Daddy was stupid!"
Monkey hear, monkey say...
