Damon was across the street playing with his friends today. I was sitting on our front porch when I heard Damon say to his buddies, "I'm going to get the hell out of here."
I called him over and told him not to talk like that.
"What? I just said I was going to get the hell out of there."
I explained that hell was a bad word and we're not supposed to say it.
"Hell? You say 'hell'."
Oh. Well. In times of extreme provocation--
I thought I only said that when the kids couldn't hear me.
New resolution: no more swearing, and I mean it this time.

Thanks for the great laugh!
Really? Hell is a swear word? But it's in the Bible...
I AM LAUGHING SO HARD!!!!
Shame, Shame, Shame
On the fact that Damon is incredibly good at addressing himself and you are limiting him.
Oh Heck :) I love reading your blog!
I wish Jenny Jo had a blog.... Does she?... I bet she has a few "unquotable quotes". Awesome!
I'm glad your kids are normal!
So funny. Thanks for sharing.
K...I feel a little better now about Nicholas' recent swear word use. :) It's humbling isn't it?
You are wonderful....unplugging toilets, debating the benefits of sugar, or washing a million dishes on Thanksgiving Day. Thanks for journaling!!!
