Why Mommy Hits

[skullard]

I sent my mom a video of me snuggling with Fender, the kitten that so recently charmed me into becoming a mutton-headed dolt, and she shot back an email telling me I looked old.  Sure, she recognized that Fender had the cute in surplus, but she had to get in how strange it was that her sons are looking so old these days.  Fine, I'm showing my age,

If you want to have any chance at an assault-free visit, I suggest you start practicing ~right away~. Habits are soooooo hard to break and I think it supposed to take 8 weeks to truly change a habit

These suggestions are awesome! I hope Skullard start using those English gentleman ones. Especially "Good day to you, Sir." I'd be so delighted if he suddenly developed an accent and got a walking stick/cane with a shiny eagle's head on the top.

I like the exclaimations that are foody, such as "Cheese and Crackers!" or "Oh, Hamburgers!" or "Peas and Carrots!"

Of course, my most favorite food curse is "Crap on a Crust!" which Skullard says is probably a no-no.

I curse as much as he does, so I gotta start watching my potty mouth.

EDITED TO ADD: We couldn't afford the swear jar! We both swear so much all the time that we'd run be broke by the end of the week! :D

If he became an English Gentleman, you'd have to become an English Lady - just to help him stay the course while mumkins is in town.

Rent Brief Encounter and do your best to channel the great Celia Johnson.

"Oh, darling, I say, don't go on like that..."

"Really, it's just too, too much!"

"I simply won't have it!"

"Dear boy, be a cherub and do shut up."

"Shit on a Ritz!" Mmmm, gooooood cracker. ;)

Aw hellz, we all love the Luka! That's the one part of my life that's easy.

Glad I can give ya some occasional chuckles, bud. XD

Omg, if that ever happened at my home(either my mom hitting me or my siblings or us hitting each other) there would be hell.
Same goes if another family member did so.

Good luck with keeping yourselves from using offensive words. That's a really hard habit to breake.

[skullard]

Ha! You're right, it's a habit. I'd never survive in a broadcast radio situation. We'll see if I can keep my mouth shut 'till my folks leave, then I can go back to my old, foul-mouthed self. :D

[gg_fangirl]

Heh, yes you can of course do that and then start over the next time she comes visiting. ;)

I once had a swearing habit(learned in school, of course) that I managed to break during summer. When I turned back up after summer I noticed how much the rest of the class was swearing and some leaked right back to me. :P
These days though, I don't swear much. Mostly 'cause I've learned not to use it when writing on the net and therefore don't use it when I speak either.

I'm reminded of that scene in the Blues Brothers where they are in the desks at the orphanage and the nun smacks them for swearing, whereupon the swear at the pain, and she smacks them again, etc., until she breaks the ruler over their heads and hurls them down the stairs. Good times.

Jake and Elwood vs The Penguin . . . one of my all-time favorite moments! I remember my dad telling me about that scene (since I wasn't allowed to watch it till years later, being rated R and all). He also made the comparison between mom and the Penguin.

I still have to get Luka to watch that movie. I have it memorized, have the soundtrack, and have an "On a Mission from God" t-shirt in the closet.
