I started cussin, swearing, using improper words, at a very young age. It started from hearing family members using the s-word. The way they said it sounded so cool and smooth, i thought if i imitated the way they spoke i would be just like them. Then the next thing you know, every other word was s#*t. i even started saying it in different tones and sways. Taught that profanity was improper and unethical, i stood confused, for the people that taught me it was wrong, were the ones using the improper language.
It was a true miracle that my mother didn't kill me back then, but one of my influences of how I spoke was from my mother. She was a cusser. (Mom Please Don't Be Mad At Me) She didn't use a variety of cuss words just, S%&t. At the time I don't think she realized how much of an influence she is and was on me, but as a child I emulated very thing my parents did, and said. To my mother's credit, after realizing she had to "do as she said, and not just as she wanted" she stopped saying the s-word. Now I'm a parent and I have to realize that I have eyes watching my every move. And no matter how much I'll tell my sons not to do something, it starts with me.
Parents evaluate yourself and ask yourself, what example are you setting for your child? One day my sons will be better than me, but for that to happen they will have to see something better in me!!!
I LOVE YOU MOMMA!!! --PLEASE DON’T HURT ME.
