The other night after I told Jason that I don't talk like that Lucy swung open the car door at Cafe Rio and hit the car next to us and out came those same 3 words. Today after school as she was working on her important homework she messed up and said "oh my freaking hell." I was shocked!!! So she looked at me and said I'm sorry I better go wash my mouth out with soap. So we headed into the bathroom and I saw the tears in her eyes and I couldn't bring myself to do it. I decided that I better use the soap on myself before I use it on her!
