Watch Your Mouth
we weren’t allowed to curse
so she never did it herself
always setting the good example
whenever we repeated words heard…
that we were forbidden to utter…
she’d softly remonstrate…
“now now now…watch your mouth”
but I learned very early
she had an exception
if pushed to full annoyance
(a rare event – she…Read More4 Comments-

In our house it was the threat of having our mouths washed with soap if we cursed. And it only took one mouth washing to guarantee obedience to this rule. Very cool poem for day 7 of poetry month Willow -Curt

I never had my mouth washed with soap but my sister did once. I was always too afraid of getting in trouble to put a toe across any lines. Thank you, Curt

My cousin told me to say a word in front of my mother, and I didn’t know what it meant and I got slapped. Never said that again. haha at least not to her.

My mother swore all the time – redheaded temper. But she yelled at us if we did. Grandma taught by quiet example. I’m a veritable sailor mouth now, but then? Nope! 😂

A STORM’S MIMIC EMOTIONS
Why does it rain?
When I’m sad?
Does it feel my pain?
When things go bad?How can it last long?
I’m still crying
When will it be gone?
The outside is pouring.Where is the sun?
To feel better
I just wanna go out and run
Even with this dark weatherI try to smile a bit
And when I do
I see the r…Read More![]()

It does feel that way when I am sad. It’s like it wants to cry for me. Lovely

Yes thank you .. I mean that creep could’ve grabbed me fast. But I think he didn’t as it was day and in front of the dairy Queen. Idk but I do feel Angels were with me. I don’t go out much like I used to and I don’t trust many out there. But I do go out maybe to the library to a restaurant, things like that. But like how I did , no and I hardly do because I have my princess I love watching and spending time with. I don’t like going out and she stays home without me. She with my parents and nephew but in general without me, doesn’t feel right. So I don’t , maybe I’ll go on a date if there’s one but after the date is over I go home. And I’m so cautious of my surroundings too. I keep keen observation on dates too. So I watch them from far to make sure they do leave without trying to follow me. I’ve seen too much to not play it smart.
And yes a pair of strong legs are good for strong running. At that time I was very young and I could’ve run fast lol. I’m older and I can only run as fast as I can. But my supervision is very strong.
