Heeee, MM. Oh, children. And, yes, "Shut up" and "stupid" were not things to be said, back in the day.
My stupid car failed the smog check. Shut up, fuel evaporative controls.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Stupid" was also a mortal insult in my mother's household
Same here. I don't remember if we had a moratorium on "shut up," too, but I don't remember hearing it, so I'm guessing we did.

My dad once got really mad at me for saying "I hate you" to my brother.

“Not dead yet!”
Heh-- the Hub was just chastising me the other day for my language (after writer's conferences, I come back with language that would make sailors blush,although I don't do it in front of the kids) however, no sooner had he scolded me, he was venting at whatever DS game he was playing (a habit that Nate has picked up as well).
I pointed it out to him-- he has ceased scolding me. *g*
Shut up and stupid are big ones around here. They both make me crazy so they're big no-nos.
In news, someone seems to have sideswiped my car at some point in the last few days and I tweaked the hell out of my back hauling 60 pounds of pet food into the house.
I'm hoping sushi will solve the Monday grumpies.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Another funny Emeline moment:
Joe and I were discussing future daughter names in the car on a our way somewhere. At one point I suggested, "We could name her Lila. And give her a bucket. And then take it away when she's bad." Joe and I laugh and Em yells,
"Don't take Lila's bucket THAT IS MEAN!"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
in our house there were only two things that would get your mouth washed out with soap, the "n" word and "shut up".

My mom will still make a fuss if you say you "hate" someone. "Don't be ugly!"

Now tagless for your comfort.
I got this cheap package of sponges so I could make Owen and Olivia "Sponge Bobs"--I basically drew Sponge Bob on a yellow sponge. Of course, then Owen pulled out the construction paper and asked me to make him a Squidward, a Patrick, a Mr. Crabs and a Plankton. He's currently playing with them. Best $2.00 I've ever spent.

Cash, that is adorable. Also, I would like a sponge Sponge Bob.
