I got in trouble the other day for my potty mouth. Moi? With a potty mouth? Can’t be! I rarely curse, and if I do it’s usually in the PG-13 range. Ass, damn, hell & if I’m really mad the occasional s&%t. But when I’m around kids I really do pay attention to how I speak. Or so I thought. I was at my neighbor C’s house tonight when she told me that her 4 year old daughter was looking for something the other day and exclaimed “Oh my God!”. C told her she shouldn’t say that and E responded with “Why, does Jesus get mad?” and then followed up with “Why don’t you get mad when Miss Shannon says it?” Uh oh. Who knew I said it so much? And it’s not really my fault as I am a child of the 80s and any girl who got through the valley girl days unscathed is a rarity. So I’ve got to come up with something else to exclaim. Any suggestions?

My brother’s girlfriend is Mormom. She says “Oh my heck!”
Hmmmmm.. somehow it doesn’t quite have the same affect.

My husband says “Jiminy Christmas” instead of OMG. I don’t know where he came up with that, but it’s pretty funny to hear. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a potty mouth, though. He uses the big JC a lot when he’s really upset.
I, unfortunately, have a potty mouth, but I’ve been working on it since our friends started having kids and we’re hoping to start a family soon. I’m trying to say “Oh my Goodness”, “Fudge”, and “Shoot” instead of the naughty alternatives.

I don’t see a thing wrong with Oh My God! Nothing at all. But I also don’t see anything wrong with “Jes-us Ch-rist” or “God Damn-it”. My mom cused alot and you know I do. I also am a catholic, but I don’t think god gives a crap how we talk. He has so much else to worry about. When I was younger I didn’t cuse, and I still odn’t in front of my dad!

Add the F word? KIDDING. I’ve gotten into the habbit of saying, “Oh shucks” instead of “Oh shit” and “Holy Poop, You are pooping me” etc… nice, huh? I don’t really see anything wrong with Oh My God. And Lisa, come on, Damnit is not God’s last name : o ) That one for some reason always bugged me.
