Shocked by my Grandson's Language

I'm glad that my son and his wife are pretty strict with their kids. They don't have TV and can only watch G and PG rated movies. They have family devotional every morning before Daddy goes to work. And they definitely cannot say any bad words. Even "shut-up" and "dang" are on the list of naughty words.

So when they are at my house I have to be a little careful what I say.

I am not a swearer and do not ever take the Lord's name in vain, but I have been known to let out a "Oh my gosh!" here and there. But not at their house. No "chicken swearing" allowed. Chicken swearing is where you substitute a similar sounding word for the swear word that you are too chicken to say, as in "what the heck". Yup...guilty.
 What the heck is Swearing???

Instead my daughter-in-law and her family say, "What the corn?". Well, what the heck does that mean? See, I told you I was guilty. If you ask me, corn is a substitute for the swear word too. It just doesn't sound anything like it.

Because of the rules about what can and can't be said by my grandson, I was completely shocked when he let out a "holy crap!"  at my house one day. Hmmm.....apparently Mommy can say that when she is driving and the other drivers are being idiots. More recently I told him something was COOL and he informed me that cool really stands for Constipated Overrated Out of style Loser. He told me he learned that from his "What the corn!" cousins. Gonna have to have a talk with their "What the corn!" Mommies about that.

They say that language is a sign of our intelligence or lack thereof.

So "fudge"...we're all just doing the best we can...gosh darn it! Now "Shut the front door" and don't listen to what Grandma says when she drops a stool on her big toe! Oh my corn....
