Keeping in mind, of course, that she always said 't' instead of 'k', and loved telling grandma how much she loved her kitties. Fortunately, my mom is a good sport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8440845209165896302.post-5520082073501103812013-01-18T06:39:29.855-08:002013-01-18T06:39:29.855-08:00We have a rule in our house for cussing we tell ou...We have a rule in our house for cussing we tell our kids you cuss as much as you want when you pay the mortgage, then you will really have something to cuss about.

My brother, of course, took great delight in pointing at every truck on the road, and asking - "What's that, Aaron?" while I was kept busy nattering "Yes, that's a TRUCK...what a nice red TRUCK..." so no one would think I was a bad mom....at least, not where my kids' language was concerned.hedynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8440845209165896302.post-64977961207591663612013-01-09T20:07:45.722-08:002013-01-09T20:07:45.722-08:00Both my friend and I are "already subscribed&...Both my friend and I are "already subscribed" to follow your blog by email . . . but have not been getting any emails!

She controlled herself for many years, until last spring when she played Dogberry in Much Ado about Nothing. And I quote <br /><br />" Dost thou not suspect my place? dost thou not<br />suspect my years? O that he were here to write me<br />down an ass! But, masters, remember that I am an<br />ass; though it be not written down, yet forget not<br />that I am an ass.
