Bradley: Hey Mom? Me: Yeah? Bradley: How come more than half the time you dont yell at us when we say HELL, but if we say ASS you get mad? Me: (In an effort to buy myself some time to think about a good response) What do you mean, Brad? Bradley: If I say HELL most of the time you dont even say anything, but if I say ASS you yell at me? Me: Well you see Brad, 1st, I know at 12 and 15 years old you and your older brother have a very colorful language when I am not around, so it doesnt surprise me that you both are pushing the limits on slang and vulgar vocabulary. 2nd, speaking of vocabulary, (yeah this is where I really started to impress myself) The word HELL and ASS are two different parts of speech. When you use a swear word as a noun, like Youre an ASS you are degrading someone. That cant be done with the word HELL. Hell is where you go for swearing, or used as a swear word as in Why the HELL are you swearing in front of your mother???? Bradley: So I CAN say HELL?!!! Me: Sigh...Yes, You can go back to swearing at your PS3. Yup Mom of the year...
