i was at a Wallyworld last week when i saw a young teen wearing a sweatshirt with the motto :f—k around & find out" on it. In what universe did it become acceptable to be so boorish in public? He was with his parents & i’m almost willing to be the parents are the same kind of folks who have an “(eff) your feelings!” sticker on their pickup.
Yeah, i know i’m projecting a stereotype, but in my part of the world that stereotype applies.
I was breaking down a tire in my garage many years ago, My straight laced BIL and nephew were with me. The tire was fighting me coming off of the wheel and I said something like, “Come on, ya little booger”.My nephew, about four at the time, asked why I called the tire a booger. I answered, “Because you’re here”. Had this been at work, the F-bombs would have been flying.
there has been and always will have colorful language. It has its time and place. But courtesy has taken a back seat to it. Kids aren’t allowed to use it because they don’t understand the nuance of time and place. Kids are simply blunt. it seems mid last century polite conversation started to die and pre-teens using profanity barely raise an eyebrow.

Your kids will do what you do. They tend to be little mimics.
