I have a vague idea about a sequel to Hocus Pocus
Okay, this is sort of on topic but off to the side a bit. I just need to vent, basically, and see what other Jezzies think.
The thing is, all words can become offensive. I have an aunt who never wanted her kids to say "stupid" because it's "so mean!" She went on a warpath against my siblings and cousins because we were older and every other word out of our mouth was "stupid." But the truth is her kids were still raised to be basically…
My husband and I both swear, and we both swear in front of our kids. We try not to swear in front of other people's kids, but ours know all the basic cuss words, including, yes, the "f-word."
My son was not very verbal before about five, but he did like to sing, and his dad in no way edited his own music listening. This is what led to my son singing "I want to fuck you like an animal" in the middle of Joanne Fabrics while using two wooden candlesticks to drum out a beat. Since I couldn't change his dad…
When my niece was about 4, I was making her lunch and she reminded me, "don't forget the fucking Cheetos." Yeah, that definitely came from my brother.

my brother's 9 y.o. kid calls his father 'motherfucker'. we all love it.
I'm a nanny, and I got my last charges (who were 2 and 3 years old) into the Rolling Stones by singing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at them every time they asked me for something they couldn't have. Eventually I played them the actual song and they loved it.
Can our kids hang out? My five-year-old knows all the words to Take Another Little Piece of My Heart, and she will stand on our couch in her underpants, playing air guitar and belting it out along with Janis Joplin like a freaking rock star. My seven-year-old daughter's favorite band is Metallica (which is a little…
It works, too! My mom played the Oldies station obsessively when I was growing up. Even though I sort of rolled my eyes about it, now that I'm in my 30s, my favorite bands are all the stuff she used to play. Beatles, Supremes, Simon & Garfunkel. I mean, I've diversified—she never taught me about Tom Waits or the…
This makes my uterus ache.
