Upon entering the kitchen, I discovered the rotten cat knocked his water fountain on the ground, spilling more than a quart of water. I said, “ah, shit” not realizing my little parrot was following right behind me. And thus Izzy spoke her first curse word today.
My mom said I picked up the same word when I was a toddler. She said she started to say Sugar Honey Iced Tea instead. I don’t think I’ll remember to say that many words when I’m upset by the rotten cat.
