You can remember that one of my goals for the new year was to swear less. I have not met that goal. In fact, I am probably swearing more. Don't get me wrong, I am trying, but my kids make me crazy!!!
In attempts to swear less, I have been working on alternative "swear words/phrases." These phrases remind me of my Mormon friends. I even find myself saying things that they do, in hopes my habits will change and I will stop dropping the F-Bomb.
The reason behind this goal is simple. Lucy, my 3 1/2 year old, is saying things like:
"Grandma, where are my f***ing oranges?"
"Kane, pick up your S***!"
"Oh, Jesus Christ!"
"Son of a b****!"
"Oh Damn It!"
You may be shocked. You may be appalled. Quit judging me. I am not perfect. Neither are you. I am working on it.
Anyways, here are some of my new phrases.
"Son of a monkey!"
"SUGAR!"
"Oh, Sugar!"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Get out of town!"
and my personal favorite, an homage to my Mormon heritage- "Oh My Heck!"
What do you think? Leave me a comment and share some of your favorite phrases?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This picture, says it all.
Grandma Fadel (who is not shy about swearing at all) would always call us little "snits." When I was old enough to inquire what it meant... She was happy to tell me it was a cross between snot and shit.
ReplyDeleteI never am tempted to swear at work (in class), but I have the worst potty mouth in front of my nephews!! Who knew my filter only worked in certain situations?
Snits. I like it. Thanks!!!
