“I think swearing among adults is the least of our problems. But don’t listen to me, I’m an idiot.”

This back and forth reminded me of a family conversation from a few months ago. I was cooking dinner for my two daughters, their boyfriends, and my mother in law. I burned my arm on a cast iron pan and I said that s word. It is a go to drastic response from both sides of our family I have to confess. It isn’t even conscious until it comes out and then it’s too late. Well, when I burned myself and said it I was kind of embarrassed because of the boyfriends being there. The girls were laughing at me because of that. My 87 year old mother in law said “She just said s**t, that’s not a cuss word.” My German farm woman mother in law perspective. Also, she is a Lutheran and I always thought they can get away with almost anything.(teasing Cletus) Except they can’t get away with NOT wearing a mask to their tiny church.

Well my German Granny never said that word in my entire life time, and would not allow rude words ever. Grandpa was half German and half S.Irish— he once said D_ _ _it and was awfully embarrassed, but Granny did not let him off the hook either. They had a small dairy farm.

I’ve been known to make sailors blush on occasion.
