Shut up kills me too. We NEVER say shut up in our home. It blows my mind when a family says that to each other. Especially our of the mouths of little kids. <BR/><BR/>Love that you posted this.

I guess it kind of paid off...I rarely use them.

For some reason I swear much more in my writing than I do when I speak. Not sure why that is? But I have 3 teens and there's NOTHING they haven't heard out in the real world at this point....Twenty Four At Hearthttp://www.twentyfouratheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972631398962037368.post-67799856343347640732009-03-31T19:05:00.000-07:002009-03-31T19:05:00.000-07:00Our 7-yr-olds just recently learned the word "kill." For the longest time they said "die" instead (as in "the cat died a bug" instead of "the cat killed a bug"). I couldn't bring myself to actually teach them the word "kill" so they just had to figure it out on their own. We can thank video games for finally making that happen :/.lonestarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555927841950877805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972631398962037368.post-26392571711609551362009-03-31T15:18:00.000-07:002009-03-31T15:18:00.000-07:00Amy - I haven't heard idiot yet - I'm sure it will end up on the list...an award? I'm on my way!<BR/><BR/>Hey Obnoxious, (I just got a kick out of that!) I totally get what you're saying - it seems like everyday there is something offending someone. The blind as a bat thing made me laugh! I don't think of myself as particularly PC, and for me, it's less about being sensitive and more just not being mean. As strange as it is - 'stupid' is my least favorite word, ever. I just don't think there is a good reason to use the word, it has no value, you know what I mean? Hell, if you're a nut job, so am I!!<BR/><BR/>Hi Amy, My son corrects my swearing. If I say the word, he tells me it's a bad word - if I try to cover it and use 'fudge' or 'sonofabeach'- he corrects me with the right word!<BR/>I hope I'm not cooth...is that contagious?Sticky (not too)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02693558544168590952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972631398962037368.post-20600774198431465802009-03-31T13:26:00.000-07:002009-03-31T13:26:00.000-07:00Good video. We have a sitch here at casa de Warner with Mr. Max's mouth. He seems to be channeling a trucker. A trucker swearing a blue streak. He will walk into a room and say "What the hell?" and so on and so forth. Now he knows that I have limits and I'm sure that he knows that I find some of this to be amusing so he isn't stopping anytime soon, but he sticks with the words that are kind of all-purpose swear words. My mother's favorite thing to say is holy shit and he idolizes her. We're a really cooth family. I'm not even sure I spelled cooth correctly!<BR/><BR/>Aw well, what 'cha gonna do? It's real life. He knows not to swear at school.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07055990920284547062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972631398962037368.post-70336991470164228842009-03-31T11:45:00.000-07:002009-03-31T11:45:00.000-07:00ya know it wasn't a big deal a few years ago. My mom is blind and I don't get bent out of shape when people say "blind as a bat." or other blind comments. <BR/><BR/>i am so not P.C. <BR/><BR/>I think people are too offended and look for more things to be offended with. My poor kids. OH they have a nut job for a mother that is for sure....The Obnoxious SAHM....http://www.blogger.com/profile/11862870782380728064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972631398962037368.post-34282441636827295502009-03-31T11:03:00.000-07:002009-03-31T11:03:00.000-07:00Good point! I am trying to stop saying "retarded" and it still creeps out every once and awhile. *grimace* <BR/><BR/>My boys favorite that I HATE (yes that is on the verboten list, too) is "Idiot." It was cute in Napoleon Dynamite. It is decidedly LESS SO coming out of a 7 year old's mouth. <BR/><BR/>And.... I have an award for you over at my site. Hope you enjoy! ;-)Amy@Bitchin'WivesClubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15137265140715548518noreply@blogger.com
