Corruption of the youth

My wife and I were watching How I Met Your Mother on Monday. One of the characters had called another a name after she had broken up with his friend, and they were substituting with the word “Grinch.” Everytime they said grinch, people would look at them like they had said the worst word imaginable. I asked my wife what she thought he had called her, and she thought it was “bitch”.

“Bitch doesn’t get that kind of a reaction,” I said, “I bet it’s the c-word”

“What’s the c-word?” Connor asked.

“‘Crimanitley,’” I said, “And don’t you ever say it.”

“Oh,” he said, “I thought it was c***.”

He said it. He actually said the c-word. I didn’t know that word until I was at least 12. I asked him where he heard it. He said his friend Travis said it. I told him not to associate with Travis anymore. I love his teacher, but sometimes it sucks having your child go to one of the lowest-income schools in the district.

A whole lot of shakin’

Hey, all.  Sorry about all the downtime on my blog lately.  I decided to try out WordPress for awhile, and it’s been kind of a headache.  I’m gonna stick with it, though, until I get really sick of it.  Ideally, I’ll be able to tweak it and get it looking how I want as I get more familiar with the software.  When I initially installed it manually, I wanted to use the pretty permalinks option, but then my archive links wouldn’t work.  So I deleted everything and had GoDaddy install it for me, hoping that in doing so, they would adjust all the Apache settings so it would work.  It doesn’t.  Anyone who knows how to get this to work, please let me know.

Anyhow, the major news is that I finished my Contracts final today.  That means no classes or finals for the next few weeks .  Don’t ask me about grades because I won’t know for at least a month.  Anyone I’ve been neglecting because of finals, drop me a line. I’ll be happy to come visit as long as you don’t mind my bringing Zeph along.
I’ll keep tweaking around with WordPress.  Hopefully I’ll be able to get it nice and pretty eventually.

Peace, all
