One time I was walking back from the newsagent and this mother and her child were walking past me. The child was turning the air blue – swearing like a sailor, swaggering like a little champion. Patience wearing thin with her cocky offspring, mum turns round to child and says: “Will you stop swearing? For f***’s sake!”
It’s kind of obvious where the child picked up his vocabulary (clue: he had never read The Canterbury Tales). Your parents are your very first role models on planet earth. They set the template, lay the foundations on which you build.
