“Mom never, never never swore “
My mom didn’t swear, either. She was an innocent. Once when I was home from college we were having Sunday dinner and Mom had news about a girl in our church. She announced that, “Gale is knocked up.” I said, “MOM!!” She asked, “Is that dirty?” I said, “No; but it’s close, and it definitely doesn’t sound nice coming from the preacher’s wife.” Oy!!
I have no idea where she heard the phrase. She’ll be 95 this year, and is still innocent. We love it.
Along that vein, I came home from college [this was in the 60s] and Mom said, *I’m glad you’re home; been meaning to ask you [in a whispered tone] she asked what does *gay* mean?
Bless her beautiful soul, she lived and loved until 92 y/o; was a sharp as a tack. Bless your Mom as well.
