I was taking out the trash this evening. I went through the backyard, pulled out our disgustingly smelly garbage can and wheeled it to the front. Mosquitos were lighting me up because the air was so humid. I walked back into the house and found my son very upset. After asking why, he explained that there were kids in his camp class who would curse around him and at times, at him.
My bear claws are starting to protude.
He explained that most students cursed in the camp; there was only a handful that he knew that wouldn't. He is one that doesn't like profanity and just about anything that is unhealthy for the body or soul. I can respect that. I unfortunately had to explain that he should be alarmed and aware when he hears this type of language, but he shouldn't be freaked out. I told him that I used to curse when younger (although I could never string together the right curse words-I always sounded crazy).
We hear profanity everywhere: in music, television, the radio, and read it in our books. It's darn near impossible to avoid it. But is the use of profanity necessary?
Would love your thoughts. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall--I have NOS!
