I do know that my sister chose not to shelter my niece from expletives and other harsh realities of life, but was very good about telling her what she considered acceptable. My niece has turned out to be a caring, articulate young woman, so I think that in this particular case, the correct decision was made.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508114700180229059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-2714219906428612552010-08-13T08:06:11.933-04:002010-08-13T08:06:11.933-04:00This reminds me of an incident recently in which I...This reminds me of an incident recently in which I was talking at a party and said, "I swear,..." My eight year old said to me, "Mom, you just broke a commandment!"<br /><br />I said, "Oh, really? Which one."<br /><br />"You swore!"<br /><br />Now, my husband frequently uses colorful language and I try very hard to avoid it, so this was pretty funny.<br /><br />Regarding big words: I used to have a much better vocabulary, but I found that people thought I was stuck up so I intentionally "dumbed down" my conversation around the time I was eighteen. For a while I worked at a university and cherished the intellectual conversations there, but when I came home again I turned it off.<br /><br />Very sad. You should check out my latest post, which includes an excerpt from a novel written in the 1930's. It is witty, fast-past dialogue but it is also intelligent. And no bleeps.Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-4902253743457712492010-08-13T08:03:01.904-04:002010-08-13T08:03:01.904-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-74374307978387792072010-08-12T06:46:05.373-04:002010-08-12T06:46:05.373-04:00It is nice to know we all look for BIG words inste...It is nice to know we all look for BIG words instead of small minds.<br /><br />Thank you all for commenting :DJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136045025997662057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-32663679494723322412010-08-12T00:52:37.173-04:002010-08-12T00:52:37.173-04:00One more reason I don't have TV :)

I do have some favorite words that I avoid because they are so strong, such as hate...never allow that word.<br /><br />My grandson asked me one time when he would be old enough to use the S-word. I spilled my speech about learning to use our language with skill and not using these words. Then it dawned on me, I asked, what S-word are we talking about??<br /><br />"Shut-up" was his s-word!!!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-56656716426946618462010-08-11T11:50:28.132-04:002010-08-11T11:50:28.132-04:00Jules, no kidding!
