I was born to cuss!

I remember back when I was 5 or 6 yers old, I had gotten into trouble and was being sent up to my room. Also having a bit of a temper, I stomped up the steps saying 'shit' with every stomp. Now, at the time I thought I was whispering, but apparently NOT! As soon as I got up to the top step, Mom and Dad called me back downstairs. This really infuriated me as I had no idea why I was being called back down. As I approached my parents, they asked me what it was that I was saying as I stomped up the steps. Holy shit! They heard me and now I was dead! I told them that I had meant to say 'shoot' but had gotten mixed up (thats the story of my life!). I couldn't believe they let me live! I found out many years later that they had laughed about it afterwards!

Of course that was only the beginning. When I was 10, I was visiting my cousins who had a swimming pool. They're house was U-shaped and the pool was in the courtyard. This made everything real loud as the noise would bounce off the house and gain in volume. My mother had just arrived to take me home and not wanting to go, I had the idea to jump in the pool. I couldn't possibly go home right then if I was dripping wet! Being the middle of summer it was hot as hell out and so when I jumped in the pool the sudden cold water shocked me. As soon as my head came up, I yelled 'Shit it's cold'! Well, my mother came flying out of the house and if looks could kill, I'd have been dead!

As a child, my mouth was my worst enemy!
