At first I was concerned by the premise of The Nurture Assumption: Why Children Turn Out the Way They Do, a book I’m in the middle of that Eugene sent me, which is that a child is more affected by his peers than his parents (to ridiculously simplify it). Of course, I had thought, I want Adam and I to have the greatest influence on our Doodlebug. But then, something happened that made me change my mind. Adam used–in a non-ironic, totally unintentional way–the word wicked as an adjective. The Doodlebug will learn better English on the streets.
