13. Just want to point out that my kids hear the words you referenced in
other people's homes. I didn't even say crap in front of my kids until roughly 3 years ago. My spouse and I used to go into our closet which we dubbed the "cussing closet" when the frustration level got to the point that we were going to be tempted to say things we knew we shouldn't say either to our kids or in front of them.

Now they hear much more of this type of language at school, but since it's not used at home they are much less likely to repeat it unless they are just trying to get a reaction from us.

Stepping down from my soapbox, I don't think Congress should pass a law regarding parental language at home. Fuck that.
