Question from Katie......... do you really cuss like a sailor?

my answer................

um yeah katie i kind of do. i'll look up some of my archives and point you in the right direction, if you need proof. i am not super proud of it but i have a foul mouth, and can admit it. my husband has a rule , the kids can say anything he says, but not anything that I say. because then they know even if i swear, they know they aren't allowed to copy me.

Peyton ( age 8) recently asked me why i use the F-word so much. i was kind of embarrassed then reminded him of dad's not swearing like me rule. so he wouldn't feel free to use it too.

a couple years ago, I was doing Joy's hair, and the rubber band broke. i was trying to tone down my language that week and i said, "oh, POOP!" and she scolded me and said ,"no mom poop is a potty word, your supposed to say damn it!" can you tell which word i was trying to cut back on??

Peyton got it trouble in kindergarten for using the F-word. and upon further investigation he only said frickin' but the little girl who told on him said he used the F-word. Mrs. Albright said yeah some of her boys use that word, frickin' too. and so we had to discuss not using any words that sound like the f-word. at school at all. since that little girl didn't know there were other f-words other than the real thing. and it sounded so close to the real thing.

I flip stuff off. like the shelf at walmart when it is out of stock in what i want, the ground when i drop stuff. my brother for fun. love to flip the bird. but i only flip off people i like, that can handle it. and flip me off back. on joking not for real. bad example? yup!

all of my kids have said sh**, a couple have used Damn it! , all of them frequently use sucks and crap. and i just heard butt hole from the 8 and 6 year olds. gotta nip that in the bud! some try to think they will get by if they use the middle finger. they show me sideways, thinking i'll do something but they generally get asked what they think it means and then a lecture on using that at school. and if they don't know what it means , they can't use it. but no big reactions or it would be a big thrill.

Lance had a little sit down about not IM-ing LMAO and what it means. because peyton chats people, while playing games online and isn't allowed to use that. he prefers lol anyway.

posts i admit cussing on

confessions of a cusser

those are the ones i definitely remember swearing or admitting swearing.

so does that answer your question? again not proud, and not really planning on changing. i tone it down but sometimes you just hafta use the real thing.
