A man I know (not a dcparent), called his 4 year old a little bugger in front of me and my mouth literally dropped open!! It's just not a word I'd use (which is funny because that is totally how my dad is and he probably called us that and more..it's just his sense of humour) he wasn't being mean or anything, it was just his way of being funny I guess? Either way, it shocked me so I know how you must have felt!

I probably should be more anal about dates....I never look except for dairy products! My friend on the other hand even checks pasta dates....we are so different we sometimes drive each other crazy lol
