If you don't swear at your pets at home, they're just going to learn those words on the street.

I think her expression of "Yes, this is what I am doing with my life" really ties the room together.

something simular happened in a chain pub grub restaurant my family was in. Resulted in the manager and the bar staff telling the teenagers and their parents to fuck off and get out or they would call the police :)

So is this more condiments for your total nothing burger?

We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use…
