potty mouth

Things Casper said yesterday:

"Jesus Christ! I don't want to take a bath!"

"I am asking my damn mom for some cheese."

She learned both from me. At least I don't drop 'motherfucker' much. In response to the first, I said, "Jesus Christ would want you to take a bath. He likes it when people are clean." In response to the second I explained that this was a bad and rude word and she shouldn't say it, and if I said it she should remind me that is it wrong and I would apologize. So, let's hope that helps, and she doesn't go corrupting her friends at school.

It does make me realize how funny it is that I, an atheist, have chosen "Jesus Christ!" as a swear word.

Yes, it is. Plus, if your very righteous mother-in-law is around, you can usually catch yourself midway and switch it to "Jeez...Louise." Or something.

My favorite line that goes along with all this (that I'm sure I first saw at b.org) goes something like "'Jesus fucking Christ' is not blasphemy. Now 'Jesus fucking Buddha,'..."

Someone somewhere has written that story.
