Impressionable

Our daughter can hear us now, which has not stopped Julie from cursing like a teacher in the break room.

"She can hear you."

"I earmuffed her for that one."

Also, if a fetus hears something scary like a dog bark, the baby is less likely to fear such sounds later on. Daisy and Tulip bark at squirrels, passersby, and anything else that moves outside, so our kid will be wrestling hyenas before she turns five.

And when a particularly savage hyena nearly nips off her finger, she'll have a rich vocabulary with which to express her frustration.

I'm sure you'll raise a beautiful longshoreman.

Don't worry, know will know you curse around your baby till they start repeating what you say. So, I'd say you have about two years to kick the habit.
