I swear a lot. No, really, a lot. I mean, not at work, or in other contexts where it isn't appropriate, but in general conversation I'm usually among the most foul-mouthed participants. I get it mainly from my father. Also my teddy-bear, who used to turn the air blue - in fact, I got put out on the stairs (the all-purpose punishment in our house) on numerous occasions for things that Flaubert had said.

So now I'm wondering: should I tone it down when my son is learning to talk? What do you think?

I think it'll happen automatically. Either you'll feel bad about swearing in front of him or you won't: either's fine, though!

So far, I don't. But it may be different when he starts talking... (Yes, I'm replying to two-week-old comments here. Do I lose my LJ licence?)
