Our car got broken into a couple days ago when Nate took the car to school (downtown Philly). They shattered the window and stole our car cell phone charger. Honestly, what were they thinking breaking into a dental students car, let alone a mini-van. First of all, you're not going to find much money (the life of living on loans) and... a minivan? The only thing you're bound to find in our car are stale, month old french fries and old dried out chicken nuggets (we keep Wendy's in business...can't go wrong with the dollar menu). If you ask me I would say our car is not a very prime target. We don't even have a CD player in it. Someone obviously needs a lesson on choosing your robbery targets better. I'm sure there's a class on it some where in down town Philly titled "car theft 101"...don't they have classes like that in the ghetto?
So, Nate called me from school very upset and yelling profanities. I must clarify that when I say Nate was yelling profanities I don't mean the usual "H" , "D", "S", "A" words. NO, for Nate his profanities were, "That STUPID, FREAKIN', IDOIT!" my response was, "wow, Nate you must be really upset to use language like that". To my knowledge Nate has never sworn in his life. I rarely swear myself, the only times I usually swear is when I want to bug Nate (which works like a charm) but even then I only say "D" & "H".
Well my friend Jeri sent me an email that made me laugh. It was titled "When it's OK to say the "S" word". The first picture is my favorite...makes me laugh everytime.

I would also like to add to the list of when it's OK to say the "S" word...
- when rear ending a car in the yielding lane
- when hitting a parked car
- when getting hit by a car while turning left
- when losing a child at the hospital and they are about to call a code pink
- when dropping your child
- when your child has multiple bouts of massive diarrhea on a long road trip (no pun intended)
There are more I could add to the list. This is just all I could think off the top of my head. Please feel free to add your "when it's OK to say the "S" word" to my list. I would like to know when else it's OK to say it.

I've been witness to several of the following occasions, though I have to make it known that I was never the S-word offender:
--when camping and your child falls a little too close to the fire
--when your fruit salad falls off the table at a Relief Society function
A few years ago, we had "vacation" to your neck of the woods... we had a few S-word moments.
When you are driving on the freeway somewhere in Virginia, and you read the map wrong and miss your exit. Then realize it's not like Utah where there are entrances and exits every few blocks. The next on isn't for like 15 miles, and you get completely lost. Oops, my bad!
Driving back to the hotel at 2 am from a Wedding in the middle of a lighting storm, and lighting hits the rail of the freeway next to your car. (I thought we were going to die!)
Ok..so mine are long and not that funny, but hey, it's a true story.
-those pictures are crazy...I have a recurring nightmare similar to the last one. ahhh.
i love it!! i don't have many "S" moments. You will have to call when you come back to town.
i love that first picture too!! that was great :-)
It is definetely ok to use the "S" word when you are at a BYU football game... (stick with me here)...and you open up your caffeine free diet coke that you just bought and it sprays all over the person in front of you! It happened to me this weekend! Luckily he was wearing a poncho because it was raining, so just the poncho got wet! Embarassing!
First, good thing Nate doesn't live with me. Even Rob has taken up using the "D" word after 7 years of hearing it come out of my mouth. He keeps cursing me saying it's all my fault, but I just remind him he has his agency.
Second, I see nothing funny about the first picture. All I see is a CAT scan, abulance ride and ICU stay. (Apparently I'm still a little traumatized.) I will tell you though that I personally found the "D" word more appropriate than the "S" word in a similar instance. (I really need to learn to control my potty mouth.)
Third, bummer about the car! We were fortunate to never experience those "freakin' idots" breaking into our car. I hope the insurance is treating you well.
