Are your children learning cursing and at what age?
I learned it around 4th grade; mostly because everybody else said those words when beating the shit out of me so I thought by saying the same words I'd look cool...

1. Alas, yes, unintentionally
Only a couple of weeks ago MG Jr. (3 YO) and I were visiting my mom. In response to something she said I sighed "Jeee-zus..." and my toddler promptly added "Christ!"

Thank the gods my crazy fundie-Catholic aunt wasn't there. She would've taken him straight to an exorcist!
:rofl:

3. My pre-teen daughter let an effenheimer fly at the bus stop the other day
Some woman was trying to force her into taking a religious pamphlet. The lady would not take no for an answer and demanded why my daughter would not take her pamphlet so her soul could be saved. My mild mannered daughter told the woman she was an atheist, thinking that would make her leave her alone.

Wrong.

The lady went batshit crazy on my kid - screaming at her that she was going to burn in hell forever and would be denied entrance to heaven. My kid said that was great with her because she didn't want to spend eternity in heaven if that lady was going to be there. That set the woman off to a whole new intensity level. She stood up on the bench at the bus stop and started shouting at the top of her lungs that my daughter was destined for hell fire and was evil and beyond redemption. That was the final straw for my daughter. She shouted back with greater rage, "FUCK YOU, YOU CRAZY OLD WITCH!" Then she followed it up by screaming, "Help! Help! Molester!" which finally shut the woman up and sent her hurredly on her way.

I told her I was proud of the way she handled herself. It's bad enough we have to have relatives say crap like that to us, but no way for a stranger.

4. I don't have kids, but learned the F-bomb in 1st grade
I remember seeing "Fuck you" written on the bathroom wall. One day at home, my brother and I were probably having an argument, and I eventually said for some reason "Fuck you" (not knowing what it really meant at the time). My mother heard, and promptly flipped out on both of us (I don't think she knew which of us said it). To this day, I almost always watch my mouth around my family. I wish I could say the same for when they're not around :).

6. When I was five-years-old
I had a buddy that called anyone who crossed us,,"fucker"...One day my Mother told me to pick my my pet mouse's cage so she could vacuum the room. I picked up the cage and started chanting "Up we go fucker!!! here we go fucker!!!. My mother flipped out at first but she collected herself and told me that was not a nice word to say. To this day, I don't say "fuck" in front of my Mother. I am 40.
