Not everyone curses but we are human and prone to mistakes.
oh yeah....none of us are perfect....just something else to work on!

That was 9 years ago and I still laugh about it!
That reminds me of the time when I was 7 years old, and I went to the kitchen table with my plate while mom and dad were entertaining an evangelist. I told mom that I wanted something that started with a "T". She looked around the table and couldn't see anything that started with "T". Finally ,I said "Taters! mashed taters!" My mother was so embarrassed and said, "Son, they're called PO-totoes!" Of course I followed up and said, "We've NEVER called them PO-tatoes! We always called them TATERS!"

Re: Curse words

Any of you see "Demolition Man"? Cussing had a very practical purpose, in one scene.

Re: Curse words

My husband used to use the word pi** all the time, which I thoroughly disliked, and complained until he stopped. LOL!!!! My main point, "Do you want the kids to say it?" He didn't think it was a curse word (or bad word), though, and still doesn't.

I've had to break several bad habits regarding the sissy words, like cra*, screwed, etc.

I can say I don't use the bad words...BUT... One time Jeff and I had a big argument, and I let a really, REALLY bad word fly, mostly for shock value. He looked at me like I had grown 15 horns, and looked really disgusted, and then I was just embarrassed. LOL!!!

Kids will inspire you to clean up your mouth, because they repeat EVERYTHING.

I have to say, my family, well, foul language is not really frowned upon, except for maybe the F word, and some of the really obscene language. I'm changing that in our house!!!! (Mostly my Dad's side--I've never heard my mother use any kind of bad word, sissy, slang or otherwise.)

Re: Curse words

One of our kids had a bit of a problem with certain phonetics. The "s" sound, in particular. Came out like "f". Needless to say, we tried to use the word "lollipop", rather than "sucker", around him!
