A few years ago, I was at my aunts house visiting. Well, she was a little annoyed at my cousin (who was about 6 at the time) always saying the word "aint". So me and my sister told her that we had a friend who used that word and she got so sick she had to go to the hospital. I only heard her say the word about once the whole rest of the time ;)
