Its Throwback Thursday... I wanted to share a short story about my oldest cousin and I.
This post contains a bad word. But its just a word. :)
My oldest cousin is about 15 years older than me. When I was younger she and her sister use to babysit me. I don't remember but I survived :) Once when my cousin was babysitting she asked me why I play with such an ugly doll ( cabbage patch kid- preemie ). She's fucked up. Bad Kathy. Shes always sworn like a sailer. And we love it..hehe. Well some time after this wonderful bonding , my grandmother asked why I wasn't playing with my doll that I loved so much... by the way I was 4 years old. I looked at my grandmother and said flat out, " because shes fucked up"
I wish I could remember the look on my grandmothers face when I said that. She wasn't a swearing type of person. I heard her say shit and son of a bitch a few times in my life.
But as I said we love Kathy and her potty mouth so from what I was told my grandmother was like "oh Kathy" after the shock of her favorite grandchild repeating what Kathy said wore off. Yes I looked up to my cousin. Shes awesome!
My mother on the other hand was a bit more upset. As she should be. Kathy couldn't swear in front of me.
I remember holiday dinners where Kathy was being Kathy and would swear when she told a story. And she'd look for me to see if I was in the room . When I was in the room and a bad word slipped she's say " don't tell your mother".. I would laugh it off and say ok. I had no idea why she wouldn't swear around me since I had no memory of that day when I was 4.
I don't know why it was such a big deal. As a teenager I remember my mother ( not as bad as Kathy) swearing and my brothers too. not much but they did. I wasn't told this story until I was 17 , I think. It all became clear once my mom told be about the first time I swore. That definity DID NOT go in the baby book..hehe
Now at 35 , my favorite curse word is Shit..lol if I stub my toe or accidently hurt myself, the f word does slip out.
What are your views on curse words? How young were you or your child when they first said a bad word? what was it?
