Curse Words

So the boy has decided he'd try cursing on for size as of late...I guess it's the cool thing to do when you're 8 years old!

Though I'm not really sure the words he's using are even considered curse words these days. As a child I was never allowed to use the word "crap". To my parents it was just as bad as the eff word...but these days it seems common practice. The other one he really likes is "heck"...I know not a curse word at all...but not a nice word either. Lastly there's "crud"...again not even close to a curse word...but when he says "oh crud"...it makes my skin crawl.

Now don't get me wrong...I've got a potty mouth...a really bad one, except when children are present of course...when that's the case I can clean it up real quick...and I've never been one (even as an adult) to curse in front of my elders.

Does it bother me that my boy is growing up and therefore trying on a few more 'adult like' words??? Yeah I guess that's really the only explanation, isn't it?
