you remember saying a cuss word? Earllogjam's thread about the Etymology of "fuck you" made me think of this.
I don't actually remember my first time, but my brother and mother remember quite well. Apparently, I was three years old. I was sitting on the floor of the kitchen, my mother at the sink peeling potatoes, my brother at the kitchen table doing homework. I was attempting to complete a jigsaw puzzle. I had ONE measly piece left, but couldn't seem to get it to fit for the life of me. I was told that I stood up, put my hands on my hips, and announced "God damnit!" My brothers jaw hit the floor, and my mom about peed her pants from laughing so hard. My brother said that she was trying not to let me know she was laughing, she just slouched over the kitchen sink, her body shaking while trying not to make any noise. She didn't want me to know it was funny, of course. :smile: So yeah... that's the first time I said a cuss word. What about you?
