This kid is awesome
What a great idea. Yeah, I know, I know, that sounds hypocritical coming from me. I have, well, just about the filthiest mouth of anybody I know. I really enjoy cussing, and I do it well. But not everybody likes it, and I try not to inflict it on innocent ears. I believe everybody should be free to speak his or her mind, but that doesn't mean I should drop F-bombs in front of preschoolers.
Orion does NOT like cussing. In fact, he just joined the club.
The poor kid who started it regularly gets hate mail and death threats. DEATH THREATS! He's 14 years old! It's probably other 14-year-olds who send them, but still. Bad, bad form. I admire people who make a conscious choice to keep their language clean. I just don't happen to be one of them.
We DID start up our Family Cuss Jar again, though. It's part of our collective New Year's Resolution. The next time I step on a Lego and scream SHIT! it's gonna cost me fitty cent.
