Absentmindedly replied to something my 79-year old mom said on the phone last night with "fuck, mom, I don't know...ask Steve about that shit."

Okay, then, Phil. Good job there.

I've heard my two year old repeating "what the hell?" in the back seat.

When my nephew was less than 2 yrs old, he was struggling to catch a bouncing balloon. As my sister, mom and I were chatting at the dining room table, we suddenly heard..."GODDAMN, B'LOON!"

But, I know what you mean, Phil. I often cursed in front of my mom which usually got the old, "I didn't raise you that way!" beatin' down. Thankfully, she knew that the words weren't meant for her.

as long as he/she doesn't start using jail as an adj.

I have done that so many times, I barely get berated for it anymore. Funnier is when I've casually said with my sister's kids in the backseat. Screaming at a driver, something like "nice signal, you fucking idiot" and their eyes are as big as saucerplates.

Some of my other brothers were the "bad-uns" but I was always her angel Philly who never did nothing wrong no-how. When I swear, her reaction is always one of old-mom spiritual disappointment, like she's watching God write down what I said in big underlined font and it just hurts her heart to know her precious boy is gonna hafta give an accounting at THE JUDGEMENT. Mom's like a cross between Loweezy Smith and Jessica Fletcher, with God on HER SIDE.

I told my brother to call my mom a bitch when he was 3. I was angry about something.

I unwittingly taught my step-son, when he was about 5, the versatility of the phrase "Fucken' A". One usage I hadn't anticipated was the song version, as my stepson went skipping down 74th streat singing "Fucken' A-a-a-a-a-ayyyy, fucken' A-a-a-a-ayyyy".

Had to have a follow-up chat about the versatility and appropriateness of the expression.

<===awful parent.

Twilight Zone...

The first time I ever swore: I was playing with a baloon in our backyard and it popped: "F*ck!". Can't remember how old I was, but I was sooooooo mortified.

<---has said the f-word around her Mom a couple of times too.... feels bad.

<--- secretly likes it when she hears her Mom say "sh*t".

My sister's 4 year old has learned that it is bad to cuss so he says "Merry F'in Christmas" and "I Hate Bleepin' Swim class"

I cuss so much it is embarassing. I called my candidate a dumbfuck, a motherfucker and goddamn mutherfucking asshole all within the span of one tirade yesterday.

He's lucky I don't get creative and call him a shit-taster or Fuckface McGillicuddy, or the like.

i offered my daughter $20 to say fuck and she wouldn't.

I'll say Fuck for $20. Shit, I'll do more than that.

How goes the dating scene for your daughter? Is she still with creepy polite boy?

Man, I should never EVER consider being a dad.

Rock 'n Roll High School

I don't recall swearing around my mom until after high school. On occassion I'll be telling a story during a visit and really let the expletives fly. She has never said a word about it.
She's known to say "Shit" or "Son of a bitch" when she makes a mistake or breaks something while she is cooking or cleaning.

no he's gone.
he got another job closer to his town (30 minutes away) and then just stopped calling her.
nice huh?
she didn't take it hard at all though. she was just left wondering what the hell happened.
she's way busy with school and saving for her south africa trip and hanging with her friends.
he wasn't smart enough for her anyway.
that said, i'd still like to kick his ass.

My family never made a major deal out of swearing. We're all guilty of it.

My sister never allows it around her daughters though. And my son will say either me or Josh " Language pleease" if we swear in front of him. He hates swearing.

But when he was 2 1/2 I was driving with him one day and when a motorcyclist cut us off I called him an asshole. That night at dinner at my in-laws we hear " asshhole, asshole" coming out of my son.

Oy

I'll actually perform it.

OPA! in three...two...

apparently the bargain basement is open today.

I wonder if I can go to jail for solicitation.

My wife has become increasingly annoyed with my propensity to blurt out "KICKASS!" whenever I am pleased with anything, no matter how seemingly mundane.

Exhibit A:

SHEFRAC: "Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes, and we're having pork chops."
FT: "KICKASS!"

Exhibit B:

FT: "Anything come in the mail?"
SHEFRAC: "Just some bills and the new issue of Texas Monthly."
FT: "KICKASS!"

np: The Pattern - "Mary's Sister"

I remember swearing in front of my dad once when I was a kid. At first he laughed, and then he got serious and said, "I'M the only one who's allowed to say those words!"

np: The Band - "It Makes No Difference"

i think the first time i swore in front of my parents was when i was in high school. my mother had dragged me to puerto rico with our cousins for two weeks. (and her family lives there, so it's not like, "oh, you're such a dick - i'd love to go to puerto rico." i go there quite often. and i wasn't allowed to do anything by myself because my mother's afraid of the high-crime rate and whatnot, so it was a total bust.) and i just wanted to hang out with my friends before they went to college that fall. so, i thought, "what's the worst that she can do - send me back home to my dad, which is where all my friends live?" so everything i said was littered with "fuck you" or "fuck that" and "fuck" was my adjective of choice for about ten days of that trip. and she wouldn't send me home to spite me. unreal.
