"Mom, what does fuckit mean?"
"Who says 'fuck it'?"
"Landon. What does it mean? Is that the f-word?"
"Alec, that's a very very bad word and you must not ever say it. And I don't think you should be friends with Landon."
"But what does it mean??"
"It's so bad, I don't even know what it means. But you don't ever say it. If you say that word, everyone will think you're mean and bad, and you will have to go see Mr. Forsberg."
"If it's a bad word, could I say it to bad guys?"
"Maybe so. But only the worst bad guys ever. Only if there were alien bad guys from outer space with laser eyeballs who wanted to eat you. Then you could say fuck it."
"Okay. Thanks, Mom!"
I remember years ago when I was little I said "crap" and got smacked across the mouth -- Times have sure changed!
ReplyDeleteYeah - less smacking and more profanity. Wonder if the two are related...
