I realized something.
I'm going to be an example to somebody. Thats going to be really strange. All of a sudden it's more important that I do the right thing. Its funny how if it's just you, then doing the wrong thing can be less of an issue.
I'm gonna have to eat more veggies. For a while now I have to confess that I have eaten far to few vegatables, but now what if my son copies me! That might be a little problem, thats hardly the right thing.
Now I start to wonder how many times my parents did something because it would be the right example. I mean surely there are parents who would just love to have a nice McD's but they don't because they want their children eating the rabbit food....
Naturally it becomes even more interesting if you think about other choices that you make, smoking, drinking, etc -- amazing...

Learning to spell 'vegetable' might be wise, too :-)
I'm hoping that he'll get his language skills from his mother.
You will have to learn to hide the vegetables in the food - I've even got a man eating mushrooms that way!
Dude, I've been trying to get you to do the wrong thing your whole life - and only NOW do you realise that it's too late? Sheesh.
Rabbit food?
Would love to see a Rabbit eat butternut squash curry. Then again.. that might not be a good example.

What if" your son copies you? Dude, he's going to copy almost everything you do and say. In fact kids learn far better by imitation than by listening to what you say.
If you get angry with your kid because your he keeps doing X, he may or may not stop doing X, but I guarantee that he'll learn that you're supposed to get angry when you want someone to do something.
Oddly, though, my experience has been that when it comes to food, kids like what they like. You can lead a kid to veggies, but really can't make him eat. Of course, in Maggie's case, she mostly likes veggies, it's meat that we can't get her to eat.
