What happened to the good old days when we taught them not to curse because it's not funny?

It is a way for a child to act more grown up, at least in their mind.
Like smoking.

Every kid does it, but kids who do it because they're provoked and taunted into doing it by the 'adults' in their life are lost to civil society before they ever had a chance.

they're little sponges.

No kidding. I was driving my 2 year old to school the other day and we got caught by a red light. It's not very often that I drop him off or pick him up. Mom usually does that. Out of nowhere he says "****ing red light". I was shocked.

Needless to say, wife and I had a talk about her language while driving with kids in the car :laugh2:

Practically everybody does it. But out of respect to their parents, they don't talk like that around them. I never have. None of my friends ever did.

This sums it up pretty well. Of course kids cuss. I cussed to make my buddies laugh. But I knew the parameters. Discretion is the concept that's completely lost on so many people. I guess it's just too complicated.

Exactly. :)

One thing I did never understand about my peers, is we'd be hanging out in my room talking about what ever kind of shit they had gotten into lately, and talk at full volume assuming my parents (in the next room) wouldn't hear them because the door was shut.

Boggles my mind.
