Heh.
I also remember bragging to other kids in 5th grade that I knew all the swears and how to use them.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My parents still don't swear in front of me. A few years ago, my dad started to tell me a joke and got part way into it, stopped and looked at my mom. She said, "Oh, good heavens, she's 37, I think it's okay to swear in front of her." So then my dad finished the joke, loaded with a single F-bomb. The joke wasn't so funny, but my dad not wanting to swear in front his full grown adult daughter was pretty funny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When my younger sister was in 5th grade, she called me a "fuck." My mom was pretty mad. Turns out my sis learned that word on the bus.
I've never heard either of my parents swear, except for one time when my dad called me a "son of a bitch". I not-literally bit my tongue to avoid saying I thought it was rude for him to insult Mom that way.

Now tagless for your comfort.
If Owen needs to communicate a swear word, he uses the first letter. Which is why he calls his Kick-Ass custom lego minifigure, "K.A."
Olivia knows what they are and doesn't her very limited repertoire of profanity unless she's angry. But, when prompted, will answer correctly to the question, "What do we call someone who pulls out in front of Mommy in the minivan" with "jackass."

Always Anti-fascist!
Now, we curse enough as a family that I told my mother that story about Mrs. Emanuel being relieved when teenaged Rahm let fly with a stream of profanities, and she said "Sounds right to me."

Hat and Mitten Organization. Couple of sticky hooks, some twine and some clothes pins and voila! Easy to dry and find this winter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought that was a group, the Hat and Mitten Organisation. Huh.
My specialist has scaled back to no automatic refills of my pain meds. I totally don't get it, but now Mondays are spent chasing him down for a refill.
I fail to be outraged by the backscatter scanner. Do I need to be educated?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Happy birthday, sumi!
Erin, I hope you get something you like soon. That money stress sucks.
Allyson, I hope they fix up your pedi injury.
Some kind of carnation something that is like "moss on a stick" for a pop on green
That is one of the hottest things in floristry right now. A patented Dianthus, for the moment.
That's messed up, ita. I hope they change their mind about the refills.
