I started swearing when I was 13. ANd until now, I can never say a swear word in front of my parents. I only swear outside the house. I got scared because my mother punched my brother on the lips until it bled when she heard him swear when we were kids. How about you? When did you start swearing?

I feel kind of silly admitting to this, but still you asked and I can't resist: when I was a baby learning to talk I started swearing.I lived with my mother who still doesn't ever swear, and my Pop-pop (her dad) who didn't swear around women. Old fashioned values. This is how I know- they told me. They couldn't understand where I got it from. I do remember when I was trying to figure out how to tie my shoestrings, and my mother was trying to teach me, I got angry and threw my shoe across the room yelling This is s*** for the birds! I got my mouth washed out with soap so often I developed a taste for it. I still have trouble controlling my potty mouth and since I am an old lady, when I get exasperated and something socially unacceptable pops out- people giggle. Because they for some reason expect me to be proper and prim in everything. D*** it.

I started swearing when I was young, but I stopped swearing many years ago, in fact I'm no Christian and I don't want to have anything to do with Christian culture, I don't swear and I don't pray, absolute indifference to Church affairs. Instead I sometimes fight with priests because they often see me and would like that I went to their church, so I'm forced to defend myself and I sometimes become vulgar with them, but if they don't bother me they have nothing to fear, to me they don't exist.
