My mother was a quiet one too and didn't swear. And my daughters make fun of me sometimes when I get mad and say something out of character for me. They think it's funny. Oh well.

Do remember when we were younger, Mom use to get a switch from the tree off the back porch when we lived in Cleveland. I think she might have used it a few times. I do remember the silent treatment also. I think we did the dishes when that happened to get back in her graces. Don't remember if that worked or not. I don't think I ever used the silent treatment on my kids. If I did it never worked.
