A friend of mine doesn't have to use a code around his kids - but he's had to figure out a complex system for his crazy dog. The dog so LOVES to play fetch that just saying the word "ball" sends him into a rip-roaring frenzy in the house. My friend was able to spell it out to get around the hassle for a while but it wasn't long before his dog flipped out when he heard "Does anyone know where Radar's B-A-L-L is?" Now their whole family uses police radio code to beat Radar's keen ear...as in "Where's the Breaker-Adam-Larry-Larry?" Maybe that system will help when adults need to talk around kids...

I'm with 'lolly'!!! All the time, when they were little, teenagers and now as adults. we never had a problem communicating but then i did bring them up to express they're own personal views too. As lolly says though it's worrying just how many parents don't.
