My greatest achievement as a father so far: I've taught my twenty-one-month-old to exclaim "By Jove!" Next: introducing him to pink gins.

My dear Mr. P,
this is a fantastic achievement many parents should try and emulate. If you have to swear, or use expletives if the situation commands, do it the English way.
They have a way to make the worst insult sound so mundane. So much better than "cold steel", "blood'n guts", etc.
Well done old chap!
Now I am sure that even under Trump's presidency bowler hats must be available in the US of A. Get your son one, and while you are at it, get another one for you.
Taking your son to school in that attire will sure be remembered for a long, long time.
Anyway, be proud of yourself. And this is coming from a Frenchman who does not eat garlic and does not particularly like wine, red or white... But pink gins are just fine.

That PC is some fine work... with our first she picked up a habit my ex wife and I would have rathered we avoided... especially while laura couldn't find what she wanted in Waitrose, Q small angel of a 20 month old child "what's wrong mummy" mummy: "I can't find your yogurts!" Small beautiful daughter: "oh... (drops head) FFS" (forum rules do not permit me using anything but the abbreviation). She is a sharpe cookie and, as we found out, a very quick learner!
Looking Ng forward to the pic of him with his pink Gin

Well done PC!
If you want to extend his 'toff' vocabulary a simple trick is to just use single letters...
"A S" - I understand your point
"S A" - that's interesting.
Rob your story reminded me of one of my favourite, slightly rude, ads along a similar vain. Less sensitive members can find it here.
