Like most children, when I was growing up, I wasn’t allowed to curse. Perish the thought. We couldn’t even use the word “butt” or “fart” and even the phrase “shut up” was considered to be a bad word when we said it (our parents said it all the time….). However, I had a friend who was my age and she cursed like a sailor. I never was sure if she heard this at home, or if she was copying her much older brother and sister. Anytime I was at her house, I never heard her parents talking that way, but they may have been on their best behavior since they had a guest around. I’m not sure. At any rate, I know that my friend wasn’t popular with the other moms in our friend group because of her language. The little boy in the joke below probably experiences the same. Enjoy!
A mother was working in the kitchen listening to her 5-year-old son playing with his new electric train in the living room.
She heard the train stop and her son saying, “All of you sons of bitches who want off, get the hell off now cause this is the last stop! And all of you sons of bitches who are getting on, get your asses in the train …. cause we’re going down the tracks.”
The horrified mother went in and told her son, “We don’t use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your train …. but I want you to use nice language.”
Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say ….
“All passengers, please remember your things, thank you and hope your trip was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon.”
She heard her little darling continue, “For those of you just boarding, remember, there is no smoking in the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today.”
As the mother began to smile, the child added, “For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the bitch in the kitchen!”
