Inappropriate Word Jar
I started an Inappropriate Word Jar yesterday morning. I had noticed far too high an incidence of unwanted expletives from the Lone Star Girl when she drops something/breaks something/hurts herself recently, a phenomenon which is clearly all-my-fault. I think the jar may eventually help us with this. By early evening, there was $1.25 in the jar...all from me. Sigh.

Excellent idea...my eldest dd has learned to complete daddy's sentences with the proper expletive when he breaks something or rips something, etc...she is only seven! We must do this NOW!
I imagine we'll be up to $5 in no time!!!
I have friends who owe LOTS of money to our inappropriate word jar. For awhile, though, we were rolling in the dough.
That is a great idea, but I, too, would be making most of the contributions....
An interesting post-script to this: I keep filling the jar and my cussing is not, I am afraid, getting much better, no matter how much of my money it eats. The Lone Star Girl has not cussed once since we set it up, though. Apparently, she is motivated by loss of cash. She has started saying "snap!"
