heard recently in my household, vol 2

A recent posting by [livejournal.com profile] agaran reminded me of this story, which took place earlier this summer:

The scene: in the car, on the way to visit [livejournal.com profile] keyne in MGH.  The driver in front of me was taking a leisurely pace.  I was unhappy with it and told him as much, until he wandered off onto a different road.

Quinn picked up the thread and started saying: "Dammit! Shit! Dammit! Fuck! Dammit!" or some such.

While I was struggling to find the right thing to tell Quinn, Morgan turned to him and said sternly: "Quinn!  Those are grownup words."

And then, while I was struggling to find the right thing to tell Morgan, he went on: "And besides, that asshole already got out of our way!"

I gave up struggling and quietly promised myself a drink later.

This was a follow on from the conversation about how I am apparently very consistent about how I swear at drivers, after hears 16 month old Alyssa mutter "Sheezus" when I had to quickly decelerater and "ahssho" when I honked my horn.The "Yankee's Suck" thing is all [livejournal.com profile] feste_sylvain's fault.
