Whem my daughter was two we lived in a house with a two car garage. It was one of those lame ones with just one big door and not really enough room for two vehicles, but my ex-hubby was hell-bent. We had a two car garage and we were going to park two fucking cars in there. Anyway I parked on the left side and one day, on the way to the grocery store I banged the side mirror into the door frame on the way out of the garage. I temporarily forgot my passengers in the back and said “SHIT!!!”

Next time we backed out of the garage, just as the side mirror lined up with the door frame, my little angel piped up from the back seat “SHIT!!” She did it every time we left the garage, just as we got to that exact spot. For WEEKS! Fortunately we are southern so It was not much of an adjustment for me to recondition her to say “SHOOT!” every time we backed out of the garage. That continued for a year, until we moved.

My older daughter, at the age of about two, didn’t make it to the potty in time, peed on the bathroom floor, looked up and said, “SHIT!”

When I was a teacher, I used to have pretty hardcore road rage whilst driving into work. In that case, I think it was the thought of kids that actually caused the rage. Either that or people driving 50 in the left lane.

My dad was in the Navy. I learned to cuss at a very early age. I remember when I was in the first grade, I dropped something heavy—I forget what—on my foot and said, “FUUUUUUUUUCK!” The teacher, who was a nun—Catholic school, ya know—grabbed me by my ear and locked me in the coat closet. NOT COOL.

heh heh…. funny!

When my oldest was oh, i dunno… maybe 15 months? I dropped something on the floor… and said… shit.

Guess who started saying it…all day long. Apparently seeing mommy clean up a mess and grumbling about it was amusing as all get out, because she would say shit, and then giggle. When her daddy got home, I convinced him she was saying SIT. As in SIT DOGGY… ;o) I think he even believed it.

Shiloh,

A friend of mine’s son at two years old said Fuck, go ‘head while waving his arm when he heard another driver honk. It turns out that my friend’s wife would honk at other drivers that would try to get in front of her, curse, and then wave the driver into the lane…all with her son looking on. I think it took them about a month to break him of the habit.

After I heard that story, I realized I had to do everything in my power not to curse in front of the kids. I reserve it all for work. And boy, do they get an earful!

3. I have road rage. I don’t know if that’s weird or scary. I’m a tempermental person to begin with, but for some reason, when I’m in a car I feel like it’s the Indy 500 all the time. Every driver is after my spot on the road… SO GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAY! However, I NEVER, EVER curse (or drive like a madwoman) with the kids in the car.

Something about kidlets in the car brings out the responsible person in most of us. Or at least it should I moderate my driving with them, and although I don’t cuss much, I’ve even had to bite my tongue over the more mild things, like STUPID IDIOT. This came around after somebody got in front of me, nicely, blinker and all, and my son, he was 3 at the time, shouts out from the back… WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING YOU STUPID IDIOT.

Now I just grumble and complain silently.

I don’t see many people I knew in high school eiether. There are a few and I’m cool with them, but most of the people I knew in high school, i have no desire to see.

I think it’s really funny that Bam gave me a pin-up girl. My dad loved Alberto Vargas and I always thought his women were so damn sexy.

I just re-found my best friend from high school, a totally awesome guy who I was so in love with for the first year or so of our friendship…sigh.

I love the pin-up girl. We used to have a Vargas calendar in our kitchen, it made me happy every time I looked at it.

I ditched everyone who knew me in high school too.
