Cute! Thanks!
"Dog biscuits alive!"
One of my favorites, I got it from my French teacher.
Hehe... cute. My favorite is "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick", but I can't claim it as my own-I stole it from a Dead Milkmen song.
Hee Hee! Very cool! :)
My favorite is from Louisa May Alcott's book "Little Men": Thunderturtles!
Yes, that's a real concern! My sister went out and bought a bunch of sippy cups before my niece was even old enough to use them because she didn't want her first words to be, "Oh G*dd*mn it!"
Ohhh, yes. I need to stop swearing. My baby is getting old enough that she copies everything I do now. The real problem is going to be getting my husband to stop!
I'll tell you what! It really chaps my @$$! that AC changed the title of my flippin' article! It was supposed to be: For Folks Who Like to Cuss: Swear Off! I think that's a much better title, don't you?
