A couple of weeks ago we were all driving in the car, and John told me that the night before he was reading Trevan a book, and at a certain part Trevan said, "what the H-E(double hockey sticks)?" John asked him where he heard that from, and Trevan said he didn't know. John had the nerve to ask me if I said that around him. Seriously? I haven't used "swear words" probably since the beginning of high school.
I stopped swearing (my mother would not have liked it had she known of my potty mouth, I have never heard either of my parents swear) when one of my friends told me about the first time she met me. This is her telling the story, "I came into the locker room, and someone was swearing up a storm, and it was you." (I was so embarrassed when she told me this) "You were a friend of one of my friends and that's how I met you, and so and so said you stuffed your bra." (Which I cleared up right then. SIDE STORY: There was a boy at the beginning of the school year that I had gone all through elementary school with, and I guess I came back to school that year a little bigger than I was the year before, so he said I had stuffed my bra. I have another great story about him I might tell later...) Needless to say I was so embarrassed that that was the first impression I had made on someone, and that's what they remembered about me. Pretty tacky. Seriously, from then on, my mouth was super clean, we're talking Orbit gum clean.

Anyway, back to the story, we couldn't figure out where Trevan had heard that phrase, we were asking him if so and so said that, if he heard it on the Ninja Turtles (they say, "what the shell"), but he didn't know, or wouldn't tell. Later that week I was walking through the living room and heard that same phrase coming from the TV that Trevan was watching. He was watching the cartoon series of Star Wars. Seriously, Star Wars? Anyway, Trevan hasn't said it since which leads us to the next story... his prayer tonight before he went to bed.
Literally, word for word:
"Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this wonderful day. Please help me not to say what the hell anymore. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
