Occupational Hazard

This morning I caught myself actually using the word proactive with my 4 year old son.  I was trying to sell him on the benefits of blowing his nose instead of passively waiting for the snot to drip down his face.  Obviously I spend too much time professionally encouraging people to take initiative and take action.  I couldn’t believe I had uttered the Be Proactive argument to my 4 year old and I immediately laughed out loud.  My son let it slide, but I am sure it will come back to haunt me some day soon when I have to remind him not to pick his nose.  I can already hear him now… Mommy, I was just being proactive!!
