Nah, actually, I was pretty angelic. Nothing like my older siblings. I got straight As, took care of my younger siblings... all my "evil" stuff was off the radar (truly, my mom is amazed at the things I did and she never knew). My dad was just... well, let's just say he had issues. He wasn't a very happy man. Oh, and I started hearing him say stuff like that when I was like 6, so it definitely wasn't a teenage thing.

yeah, I think hearing that kind of thing a lot as a kid really influenced the things I say to my own kids. In a good way.
