I never cussed because of my inconsistent parents' reinforced protestant beliefs on me.
When I was in fourth grade a friend had dared me to say the word "damn" at lunchtime.She said go ahead! Nobody will know.No one will care.You won't get in trouble...so I proceeded to do so.
And ever since I was 12 I had the worst
mouth.
Luckily I learned new words since then...
A childhood belief about swearing
others believed things like this
- sophie b. hawkins. Damn I wish I was your lover. I heard Damn I wish I was your motherAnon
- I used to believe my middle name was a 'bad word' because my mom only used it when I was in trouble.— DJ
- In first grade, I thought that if I've never heard of a word before, then it wasn't a word.— Destiny
- My mom used to say that if I said bad words, poop would appear in my mouth— Nina
- I used to believe everything starting with f was a bad word after I learned about the "f-word". — Sarah
- That you start out Catholic and after you reach a certain age you then become Protestant.Anon
