My mom swears.
It's now a mark of intelligence (and my mom is very intelligent. Even though she would down play this instantly. Which is probably also a sign of intelligence.)
But, I don't swear around my four year old. I really don't swear much lately, as much of my time is spent around kids.
I pride myself in the code-switch, for better or worse.
But I don't necessarily know if it's a good thing.
So... we don't use swear words. And my mom does. And I twiddle over every well-placed swear word Grandma utters in the presence of the four year old. Probably unnecessarily. As worry may not be a sign of intelligence.
