[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Share a swear or epithet (asterisks) that your kids would be shocked if you said EVEN if you were repeating what someone else said.

Was watching a movie with my 14yo, and she missed what someone said. I repeated it and she was FLOORED that I said it out loud. Even though I wasn’t saying it, I was repeating it. Whether or not your kids hear you swear, I’m talking about, even if you *read it aloud in literature or an article. Or repeat it instead of referring to it.

The word the movie said, and I repeated  was f**. Movie was The Breakfast Club

I know exactly what line you're talking about!  The TV version substituted "failed youth" and it's hilarious.

When mine watched it as a 12 year old they were not phased by the original dialogue.  [b]They did however think that Bender was very mean.[/b][/quote]

That interesting and odd. He's traditionally the underdog in the movie and most liked, with Emilio and Ringworm being a tie for second.

The principal is the "villian" in the movie. He has horns! :D

And darn those doors with faulty screws falling out![/quote]

I know!  It's crazy interesting.  Heathers is next on the movie night list.

I think Bender hits very differently nowadays.  Income inequality has gotten much worse and there's no scenario nowadays where Judd Nelson would be in the same school as Molly Ringwald. Heck, kids nowadays don't even know what detention is.  They can't relate on the same level.

It hit so much differently for them than us.  That being said, it would, with a few minor tweaks, make a fantastic HS play adaptation![/quote]
