Me (opening window): Do you think I can't hear you? 11 yo: Mom told us to. Me: She told you to swear? 7 yo: I said "damn," and she said if I was going to talk like that I had to go outside. So we are.

11 yo and 7 yo are enjoying themselves outdoors, repeating all the swearwords they're forbidden to use. Just outside my office window.

You mentioning your kids swearing made me think of that passage from “Lies We Tell Our Kids.” What justification did you come up with?pic.twitter.com/DZR7yZOg8N

I tell my kids that it's a custom that swearwords are reserved for adults. But if they doubt the force of custom, they should imagine showing up for school one day naked.

The swear words get more unique and also more creatively used as the teenage years approach. I’m sure you will be on Urban Dictionary in no time.
