re: How old were you when your parents first allowed you to start cursing/cussing?

Cursing was so common in my parent's home, I have no idea when I was "allowed" to do it, but it was really young. One of my first words as a baby was shite. I was told, however, not to cuss at school or in public. Mom recently passed away, but conversing with my dad always involves cussing. I heard him say recently, "Well I left the house and I couldn't remember if I shut the goddam garage door. So I'm backing up down the street, and this crazy looking bitch is standing in her yard staring at me like I'm fricking nuts. Well, I got back to the house, the damn door was down, but I didn't want that fricking bitch looking at me again, so I went the other way to work."
