If I were single and childless, it wouldn't be such an issue - and then, I might even take nekkid pictures of myself and post them on the internet because isn't that something that childless people can get away with? Not that every person without children should do this, but they at least wouldn't have to worry that the other PTA parents are going to pass pictures of their bare ass around at the post-PTA meeting vodka tonic binge and critique their parenting skills based on the caliber of their bikini wax.

But, I've been examining my moral fiber and it seems ready to give at some points - it's a lot more frayed at the semi-unrestrained cursing. I believe that the f word is an unbelievably effective adjective or noun or exclamation, but not when one of my innocent children is saying it - which only one of them has done and only once.

In any case, this is why I am going to strive to rein in all the cursing. Still. A friend pointed out that I'm really not as expressive as I think I am. He brought my attention that my swearing vocabulary is actually limited to a few words. I am not, after all, one given to using the c word. So, that's okay, right?
