ever so slightly related: if you knew your mother was reading your blog (hi mom! *waves*), would you edit out swear words you might otherwise use?

I would swear even more for her benefit. Not recommended for everyone, but that's just the kind of warm, caring relationship she and I have...
But seriously, I would imagine that your mother respects your adulthood enough not to have a fit every time you write the f-word. You're married, living on your own and supporting yourself, and with those responsibilities comes the privilege/responsibility of forming your speech as you choose.
A wise man once wrote that all parents and teenagers engage in a farcical situation wherein parents will swear in the presence of their peers but never around their teenager, while a teenager will swear in the presence of his peers but never in front of his parents. It's something to think about...
Oh, and hi, Valette's mom! :)
Aww thats so sweet... My mom knows I have one, but I haven't told her the address, just in hopes she doesn't read it. Not that it matters, my life isn't that exciting. Hi Valette's Mom !!
My mom knows I have a blog, but she's not quite sure what a blog is - then again she's not quite sure what the internet is either so I think I'm safe. :)
Hi Valette's Mom
(Hi mom) I say still go with what you would normally say. Your blog audience has been self-selective so far. If it's too much for her, she doesn't have to read.
its your fault shes reading this, you know. i blame you.
Ooooh, sibling fight, sibling fight :)
Swearing is the least of the worrisome things my mom could discover by reading my blog.
like you still play with dolls?
That, and the fact that I stay up past 9 pm now that I'm "out of the house."
you are all sorts of naughty.
