Do you remember as a youth how you got in trouble for using curse words? OK, well I did. Then, as you got older when you could say them without getting in trouble? You thought you were so cool.
Then you had kids and knew your days of cursing were over? Well, at least they should be. However, sometimes the frustration and heat of the moment get the best of you and they just slip out.
In my case, I know they flow much more freely than they should. I’ve told my kids that there is only one of me and three of them that they need to learn a little patience. However, they tend to forget that at times.
The other day we are getting in the van, Tim tells Alex to get buckled. He’s struggling and trying to get it but for some reason the belt just wasn’t cooperating.
He screeches with all the venom and anger of a 5-year-old, “Just give me a damn minute.”
Awe, yes, I’ve heard those words wail from my own mouth. I couldn’t help but laugh. It was a silent laugh, but I’m sure Alex was full aware that what he did made his Mommy laugh. Tim looks at me with the that’s your fault look.
If you’ve ever wondered what all your bad habits are, have kids. They’ll let you know.
