Do you know someone or come across
somebody that has a foul mouth? someone
that uses the F or S word every two or three words.
I don't curse or swear much. I really don't. I try to set a good example for my kids. Now I am not saying I don't ever use bad words. I do at times.
For example occasionally while frustrated in traffic, while waiting in line, when I get burn while cooking, when upset because everyday life struggles. (that sounds like a lot, doesn't it??) But really I don't swear much. Words just come out :/ like darn it! dang it! Oh shoot! or their equivalents in Spanish like ay Chihuahua and others!
Naturally they flow better in Spanish
...The other day the kids come up to me and tell me "mom say bad words in Spanish because you sound very funny!" Now I am self conscious because as parents we teach by example and kids are always watching.
They made feel like Ricky Ricardo ranting when he was upset at Lucy because she had done something wrong. He never used bad words but it was just funny the sudden change of language and his tone of voice.
I tried to look for a video like that on you tube and I found this one of Ricky Ricardo telling Little Ricky a bedtime story it's so funny!
Did you guess the story? Do you still love Lucy? I do!
I will keep in mind my choice of words from now on!
I gotta be more careful.

What a riot! I loved watching Lucy when I was little. Ricky always cracks me up!!!
ReplyDeleteMy full time job includes working around carpenters for the past 10 years. Sadly my swearing has become worse over that time! I am hoping to loose the truck driver talk when I eventually go self employed!
Oh Miss Val I don't image you with truck driver talk!
DeleteLOL! Yes, I still LOVE Lucy, now even more :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about having to watch what we say in front of our kids, I've said one or two bad words in front of Miguelito and he's like what does that mean :) But trust me, the kids these days are so awake, I bet he here's bad words at school!
