I remember the first time I swore…I was about 12 and I
called Tommy Snyder a dumb ass! He was trespassing
on my favorite “kick the can” hiding place and would not get out! I was so angry that it just came out of my
mouth. I expected a much more horrified
reaction from him…but he just told me to shut up! I decided then and there it
certainly did not get me the results I was looking for, and swearing was highly
overrated and not worth getting punished over.
When my sons came home from the service, the Navy and the
Air Force… I began to understand the saying “swore like a sailor”. They were both horrible, and I became the language
police!
But then on occasion when I really wanted to make a point, I
learned that a well placed swear word got the perfect attention I was looking for. It was kind of like magic; the boys would literally
stop what they were doing and cringe at the pure shock of that coming out of my
mouth. However, I need to warn you, if
used too often it loses its shock value.
So... swear wisely and with intention…And I do!
Ah.....F#_k It
