I just knew that somehow a thread about cussing would eventually make it around to Obama. Lee

Once when I was a child, a cussed in front of my Mam'ma Adelle. A very big mistake ! Remember today as if it happened yesterday. Mam'ma made me take Ivory soap bar, lather it up, then take 3 full licks or she would tell Dad and Mom. So I licked the soap. I was sick, heaving, wanting to throw up, the whole nine yards. I never, never even said anything out of order around her again. A lesson well learned. I sure do miss Mam'ma Adelle !

I was in the car with a buddy, his very prim and proper father and mother, his wife and the 4 year old son. You need to know the car is grandpa's four door cadillac double wide land yacht. The boy-let is in the front between dad (driving) and grandpa (navigating). I am in the back happily ensconced between grandma and mom. As we approach a major intersection we get cut off (almost T-bone type cutoff) by someone running a red light. Everybody slides forward against seatbelts and the kid is held safely by grandpa. As we re-gain composure, I have the best seat in the house.
Boy-let stands on the seat and begins letting the expletives fly - You cork^&*%'ing, muth3%&$((cking, @$$4ole.....
From my chair I can see grandpa freeze, petrified; dad about to bust a gut laughing; mom (frozen) can only see dad; and grandma nearly catatonic can only see grandpa frozen in time. After a tense moment grandma says "boy-let, where did you learn to say that?" and the response is "that @$$4hole cut us off and dad always says that when someone cuts us off".
The only thing that brought the interior of that car back to reality was grandpa taking charge; telling boy-let to sit down and be quiet and demanding dad get going before another car rear ends us.
That was the moment I decided it was perfectly OK for my (way in the)future child to use "curse words" but only in situations where it would be funny and NEVER in an effort to hurt someone else's feelings. That strategy has worked perfectly to this day (she is 17 now). Her sophomore year in high school it came out that the English prof allowed cursing in written assignments. But the chosen word(s) damn well had better be spelled correctly and used in a grammatically correct fashion. THAT was also a good strategy.
It's always the forbidden fruit that has the greatest magnetism.
