Gibson: Mom? Why are words like Dammit and Hell bad to say?
Me: Well..... They're rude words. And they're just not very nice.
Gibson: But what makes them bad?
Me: (Thinking for a minute.... working the brain overtime so I can wow him with my mommy-wisdom.) I guess I don't really know exactly. (Mommy-wisdom failing me...) They're just words that people think are rude. And they aren't very nice to say. So if you use them people will think that you're not a nice boy. That's why we don't say them.
Gibson: (Looking confused.) But didn't you just say Shit?
Me: Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh....... Yes. Yes I did.
