But they have been known to drop a "dammit!" here and there. This is a little different, but I'll tell the story any way: I was coaching my five-year-old son's t-ball game recently, when my seven-year-old came to me complaining that he was thirsty. I pulled $2 out of my pocket and told him to go to the concession stand. As he passed my wife, who was sitting in the bleachers, she asked where he was going. "To the confession stand," he replied.

“To the confession stand,” he replied.

Speaking of phrases you thought were curse words when you were a kid... My mom used to say "Sugar jets" when she wanted to swear. I don't know where she got it from, but it was her all purpose cuss word. Until I was about 9 or 10 I thought "sugar jets" was a swear word. Now, unfortunately, I tend to swear more than I should. I have friends (mostly male for some reason) who like to encourage me to swear. They think it's funny when I do because I don't seem like the sort of person who would. Jeff that is very funny.

I used to think "holy cow" was a curse word. That is the worse thing I ever heard my Dad say. Then I grew up! Now, I curse when I want to irritate my husband. It bothers him... ;-) Hahahaha!

And we are having similar problems with our older son... he wants to run his little brother's life, tell him what to do, what to play with, etc. As for the kids repeating what they hear, we have had to deal with that as well. For the most part, my wife and I keep the language very pure around here, but we all make mistakes sometimes. Unfortunately the boys pick up on anything that has some strong inflection on it, and then they want to repeat it. A while back, our oldest boy heard my wife say "Jesus Christ" about something, and then he just started saying it over and over. My wife said, "Bo, momma made a mistake when she said that, now you please stop saying that. Your grandparents would be very disappointed to hear you say that!" Bo looked right at her and says, "Well damn!" We are now all working on our language. Counseling comes next... That is a hilarious picture and an even better story!

Jody and I used to work together, everyday was adventure...no matter who did what I always was in trouble for it..so there were plenty of days the "B" word was used but Ashley only heard it once...I am still in counseling and only work with men I am not related to.
