She dropped the bomb on me, baby

So I was checking out the most recent post on my sister's blog (www.mias-toophat.blogspot.com , which you should be reading if you haven't been already because it's a helluva lot better than my piece of crap blog, plus she posts a lot more) and she dropped the F-bomb. I don't know if I blogged about this before (probably because I tend to talk about the same junk over and over) but I secretly (or no so secretly depending on how well you know me) like to swear. I do. When I'm with the right crowd I can cuss like a sailor. The only word I tend to shy away from unless I'm seriously pissed off is the F-bomb. It's the way I was raised I think. My mom would swear only if she hurt herself or some other extreme circumstance, and even then it was a mild "Shit!" or "Dammit!" I have NEVER heard her say the F word and I highly doubt she ever will say it. I think the world would end or something. It would definitely mean the apocolypse is here. Now, my dad would swear on a regular basis and he had his favorites - "son of a bitch" was a favorite, usually mixed in with a "goddamn" and "piece of shit." A lot of times he would combine all them together. However he too is not one to say the F word. I'm pretty sure he has but I don't recollect ever hearing it. So I tend to take after both my parents - usually only muttering the occasional swear but I can also really let go with a string of cursing. And I find myself really letting go when I'm not with my kids (it's my way of celebrating). I'm particularly bad in the car when I'm by myself. I use words that I would never admit to saying to anyone. In the car is where I get creative with my swearing - using odd combinations and experimenting with all the foul slang I can think of - the kind of language that if I told you, you'd have to do the fake he-he laugh because you'd be too embarassed to do anything else. So there. Now you know. I swear. And if you ever hear me say the F word just back away slowly, because there's probably some serious shit goin' down.
