I don’t remember when I first heard a swear word. I was born in the 60’s and people really didn’t swear, certainly not in front of kids. I probably heard it in a movie in my tweens.

But my son learned the F word at 2 because my husband would say it a lot on the phone when his work called.

One day, I was in Saks Fifth Avenue with the boys, age 2 and infant in the double stroller and my son wanted something I wouldn’t give him. He started yelling “Fyck you, Mommy!” And wouldn’t stop. All I could do was quickly wheel them out of the store while I got glaring dirty looks from snooty sales people.
