Citing a desire to ensure that his nine-month-old son, Jason, stays on the right path, Bill Yardley told reporters yesterday that he is determined not to let the infant make the same mistakes he made at that age. 'Back then, I didn't know my place in the worldI was young, directionless, aimlessand I don't want him to fall into those same bad habits,' Yardley said, adding that he vowed to discourage his son from the same immature fixation with breasts that 'set the tone for [his] entire misguided youth.' 'I only behaved that way to get attention. It was stupid. He's got his whole life ahead of him, and I just don't want him to ruin it.' Yardley added that he knew his son was starting to follow in his footsteps when Jason began 'hitting the bottle' earlier and earlier each morning.
