Just today I had a similar thing happened to me...I was at work when something fell and I said in a loud exaggerated voice "UH OH!!". I can't wait till I drop one of the three P's (pee, potty and poo)...hopefully I'll never go for the 4th P (puke)!

Potty! That's just kids stuff. At Grandpa's house the adults talk piss and shit at the table. It's not a party if we don't.

I've definitely had to cut down on the swearing. My daughter has taken to saying, "F*ck, don't say that word."

And my wife has asked me to use my indoor voice too.

I had to bite my tongue the other day... I was conducting a training for new staff when a 23-year-old guy sauntered in ten minutes late, slunk in his chair and pulled his ballcap low on his head. My instinct was to say: "Young man, sit up straight and take your cap off at the table!" I didn't, but it bugged me!

My wife often tells me "use your words", rather than the gutteral grunting I typically offer.

I say all kinds of stuff that I never said before. Some are cursing replacements, some are caused by lack of sleep.

Huh- never had that problem- I use the same words when I talk to my kids as I would when I talk to an adult.

As a daddy, I am in the same boat. And love it. It's just my style to mention to coworkers at the woodshop that I have to go pee pee, or that I have to go potty. Or, to combine, that I have to go pee pee in the potty. Screw the tyrannical shitheads out there who frown on kiddy-style potty language. Wouldn't it be a better world if all the board rooms of America had people who excused themselves, and washed their hands, and said please and thank you and poo poo?

Girlfriend - been there, done that!

How about asking your husband to use an "inside voice"?

And talking about your kids bodily fluids with an office mate, then turn around and see your boss standing there. I was a lovely shade of red.
