Friday Madelyn and I went to a girls basketball game at a local high school. My sister-in-law is the asst coach so we went to show our support. Of course Madelyn wanted to sit close to the top so that we could see everything going on. I think she did this because I am clumsey and there was the chance that Mom might fall down the bleachers and everyone would get a good laugh. Anyway, "up top" is where all the younger people sit. By younger I mean the children in high school.
These children need to have their mouths washed out with soap. They showed no respect for me or my child. I could not believe some of the foul language that was coming out of their mouths. If they could have heard how stupid they sounded they would have quit right away. I can handle a little foul mouth, but not every word. I am not sure how anyone was supposed to understand what they were talking about with the cursing. If this is what we have to look forward to as the next generation then we are in BIG trouble. It wasn't all the children, but you know the saying. If you sleep with the dog you are going to get fleas. If I EVER hear my children utter those words or is someone else does. I really hope they tell me so I can wash their mouths out. They should have hushed out of respect for me, but also for Madelyn. I should have been a good mom and stood up and said something, and I am not sure why I tolerated it. That is the word I was looking for.....tolorated.......why did I do this. How many others things am I going to tolerate? Homosexuality, bi-racial marriage, my child's vocabulary. I am going to promise you right now.....I will not longer tolerate this type of language around my children........I will pick up on the others later.
