Thanks ...Well, well, well. If it ain't Dwyer. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />I'll have to check out the book.

Thanks for reading and commenting. I think...Susan,<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting. I think I can safely say that my children have safely stored away their cussing knowledge and saved it for a much later date. My son pushes it from time to time, but knows that it's out of bounds. <br /><br />But I like your thinking. If you ever want it to have impact, you need to use it sparingly. Unlike me, of course.PIPERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054305230216613759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7031680415227336325.post-9165861450462712982009-06-23T03:24:59.346-07:002009-06-23T03:24:59.346-07:00I'm rolling on the floor! I tell my kids that...I'm rolling on the floor! I tell my kids that to use the "f word" (one of my favorites as I am a passionate person who wants others to understand my feelings on a matter) you are supposed to be 40 years old. I have explained that there are different words that are acceptable at different ages and the "dirty fucking cocksucker" is a 40 year old term. If one was to begin using that word at a younger age, then it begins to be worn out . . . It loses something over time and means much less as it has been used up. Then one has nothing left to say once they reach their 40's that has the same emphasis! Yes, they are just words, but if one experiences all that life has to give at too young of an age, then one has nothing to look forward to! This actually applies to a lot of different life experiences, but for now, we are addressing cussing.<br />Here are the rules in my house:<br />Damn it- 16 years old.<br />Shit- 18 years old.<br />Ass- This is the one to cut your teeth on. 14 years old! (practice for this one starts when singing old Christmas carols and then progresses from "ass -giggle" to "smells like ass" to "don't be such an ass"<br />I think you are getting the point!susan pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7031680415227336325.post-79494599744385924602009-06-20T06:14:23.215-07:002009-06-20T06:14:23.215-07:00Yeah.

I appreciate that he does that, and I make all attempts to explain away all mystery or secrecy about these words, so as to rob them of their entrancing power to be used. I figure if he knows what they mean, knows they shouldn't be used, he'll avoid them.<br /><br />But I haven't really applied this logic to that magical f-word. I can't really explain it to him. He did ask, and I did tell him it was a bad one, a REALLY bad one. And then I think I distracted him with a cartoon.Alanhttp://alanlopuszynski.comnoreply@blogger.com
