Do you say bad words?

I do, on occasion, use profanity. My mother was a wizard at getting me to do what I should do just by saying something off the cuff. " You know, [i]Profanity is the crutch of an empty mind[/i]". And then she would just walk away after I had just yelled something horrible because I stubbed my toe or cut myself. She reinforced that later with the stare. My retired Marine Daddy also gave me good advice. " If you F--- up in front of her, whatever you do, don't look her in the eye! That sh*t will kill you!' 🤣

As I got older, I realized Mom won that one.
