It works, even though it sounds stupid.<BR/><BR/>Once in a Hebrew Bible class, I heard my teacher use a racial slur to translate a Hebrew word. It was a real eureka moment for me, realizing the times (especially when translating) that curse words are necessary. I learned that foul words are right and proper for expressing foul ideas, and I still use them for that purpose. <BR/><BR/>And maybe for when I drop my keys.Sharon L.

He admonishes ME for saying them!<BR/><BR/>I was really lucky in that my son couldn't pronounce "f" as a little boy. Once while walking to the car after a very heated discussion with my hubby via cell phone, I hit my hip with the car door. "FUCKING CAR!" I said. The whole way home and for days after my not yet 3 year old son said, "BUCKIN CAH!" Brilliant.

Yesterday when I pick them up my 3 year old drops a toy while running over to me and shouts "OH DAMNIT!". My 4 year old says. "Don't say damnit. Damnit is a bad word. You can't say fuck or bullshit either." The childcare ladies are absolutely aghast & looking at me at if I am the worst sort of mother ever.
