When an expanded vocabulary is not a good thing
Like many parents, we fret over the television and its possible effects on the boys. As a result I was pleased a couple of days ago when Jamie asked me what "nullify" meant. I asked him where he'd heard it and he said on the Bakugan TV show. So I asked him how it had been used and we kind of reasoned out the meaning together. Well, there, I thought, he's picked up a good vocab word from the show, can't be all bad. A few minutes later, however, he asked, "Dad, can Connor ever be nullified?" Good feelings gone.

You could let him know that he can't be nullified either. Probably better than the Cosby way..."I brought you into this world..."
