Freakin'

This evening, Ryder told Drew, "It's freakin' cold outside today, Daddy!" Which is totally true--we have had a negative windchill here for days. It is freakin' cold! Drew said, "You better watch what you say!" implying that I'm the reason he said that. And I'll admit that freakin' is a part of my vocabulary. But what he forgot was that 10 minutes earlier he had walked in the door and said, "Man, it is freakin' cold out today!" When I reminded him, he just laughed. Guess we all need to watch that we don't say anything stronger than freakin'.
