Swearing - I was 8 when my grandparents rescued me from an orphanage. I had gone to school this day and the "new" swear word - which I hadn't heard before was the F word. When I arrived home this day my Mum told me to do my homework before play, so I told her to F... off. She asked me what it meant to which I told her I didn't know but all the kids at school were saying it. Regardless my butt was sore for a couple of days. Every time I went home as an adult, she reminded me of this event and asked if I found out what it meant, I have to admit I could never admit I did I always told her No, not sure she believed me though.What’s a childhood memory that got you into big trouble with your parents?
Hey members!
I hope you’re having a great week so far. I’m hopping on here again to ask you all another question that will surely bring a smile to your faces.
So, our dear member, L John P, has posed an intriguing question: What’s a childhood memory that got you into big trouble with your parents?
Ooh, I invite you all to take a trip down memory lane and reminisce about those childhood moments that landed us in hot water with our parents. I’ll go first. I can recall so many instances like not making it home in time for tea (classic, right?), losing my precious lunch box at school (I felt the wrath when I lost mum’s Tupperware!), and the list goes on.
Now, it’s your turn to share your childhood mischief and let’s have a good laugh together. I can’t wait to hear your stories and reminisce about the innocent trouble we caused back in the day.

Mum made us drink caster or any of her children swore and if we swore again, she washed our mouths out with soap. both parents came from separate orphanages. Pemberton girls' home would have been TOUGH for little girls to grow up in. Tough to in Clontarf boy's town. That was pretty much a nightmare too back then judging by my father. Not much swearing went on in the pink household at all, till high school finished.Swearing - I was 8 when my grandparents rescued me from an orphanage.

My best friend came from a family of 5 - 2 girls and 3 boys. Their mother would wash their mouths out with soap if they swore. We girls did not swear but every time the boys did, his sisters would dob so that we could watch the mouth-washing process. I was quite morbidly fascinated by this as it didn't happen in our family.Mum made us drink caster or any of her children swore and if we swore again, she washed our mouths out with soap. both parents came from separate orphanages.

not unfair extreme worryMy Mum was a great mother, however perhaps somewhat on the strict side. Smacking was frequently administered, especially to me, being the older brother, who "should have known better," even though I was still very young in the 1940s.
Mum sent my younger brother and I to wait in our local grocer shop while she finished the shopping elsewhere, but I thought she meant the optometric, so we went there. Naturally, I was smacked when we were found. Have never forgotten that--it seemed unfair.
