Julie and I are getting serious about swearing less. I mean shit, this kid's going to imitate everything we say.
Habits die hard, though, and quitting anything cold turkey is not pleasant. Julie has finally landed on the perfect word to stand in for all those fu...pesky swear words. The word is buckets, and it's got versatility, impact, and meaninglessness.
Ouch, I just hit myself in the face with a spatula. Buckets!
Oh holy buckets, that person is driving like a buckethead.
("Holy buckets" is not original, obviously. Stop being such a bucket.)
Apparently no one has told Lyla that rice cereal tastes like buckets.

Where is the decoy spoon???
She ate it. No, I don't know...some ideas are short-lived.
We just had the same conversation last night. Perhaps we'll just swear in German instead. I think we'd start laughing if we said something like "buckets".
