don't say stupid

We have been trying to teach Cash that stupid is not a good word to say.  Because we mainly don't want him to call his friends stupid. Unfortunately Shawn and myself have a habit of calling inanimate things stupid, you know like- I can't get this stupid can open. Or in Shawn's case today when he said - get out of my way - stupid car.  And little ears in the back seat heard and were in the back to promptly say, Dad- we don't say stupid. And Dad said- you are right- I am sorry we don't say stupid. Cash then proceeded to say, dad you can say "excuse me out of my way" and we agreed that would be a much better way to say it.  Shawn said- he often times thanks God for these little reminders that the ears are always listening....
