He's the garbage mouth in our house, though I've been known to let fly with a few expletive deletives at times...but for me, it's almost always when the wee man is not around. His Dad hasn't got the same filter, and it drives me mad!<BR/><BR/> The wee man has made himself the Word Police, though, as they often do, and has been known to pull me up for saying "sh*t". He often checks with me if a word is a bad word - yesterday it was "poopa" (not so good if you are saying "poopa head", okay if you are talking about trumpet noises! lol).ruddygoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869876730239753027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-72611785461905114772008-01-04T23:46:00.000-06:002008-01-04T23:46:00.000-06:00i have had a potty mouth pretty much since birth. ...i have had a potty mouth pretty much since birth. it's refreshing to hear that i am not alone....the planet of janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444337511603560544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-84029252738341050122008-01-04T21:18:00.000-06:002008-01-04T21:18:00.000-06:00You are hysterical!

Maybe you could adopt some from that movie.

It is a pretty disgusting word. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason for what is considered a swear word- for instance, I hate the word "fart" but don't mind "crap". (Is it okay to write those words?) What I really hate to hear is the Lord's name used as a swear word.<BR/>RenoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-52910199630058078172008-01-04T09:31:00.000-06:002008-01-04T09:31:00.000-06:00I use the f-bomb too.

That makes even me laugh!)<BR/><BR/>As long as I am 'here' I want to say thanks for so many hours of fun, interesting, and entertaining reading.

I got that from my dad. He lost his temper the majority of my childhood, (in fact I don't have many memories of him NOT screaming or beating us) but only when I pushed him to the limit did he swear. Swearing was SO against the rules of our house that we weren't allowed to say "stupid" or "pissed", words I find fairly bland...not swear words at all. I think that's why I said whatever the berry I wanted to when I moved out.<BR/><BR/>Now with our first little one here, I know I need to clean up my act. My only hope is that I don't have triplets AND a baby, so hopefully I won't get pushed to the limit as you do.<BR/><BR/>Berry.
