This has been much on my mind, lately.moirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12949972069182918840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10914207.post-1116826973678599742005-05-22T23:42:00.000-06:002005-05-22T23:42:00.000-06:00This incident is not so much a comment on lyrics b...This incident is not so much a comment on lyrics but on the importance of acceptance from others. It was hard for me to resist at the time but it felt good to be considered cool for about 5 minutes.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060957102738832224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10914207.post-1116801920069206802005-05-22T16:45:00.000-06:002005-05-22T16:45:00.000-06:00Another mental editor here.

But if it's a decent song with just a few colorful bits of language, my brain knows to automatically bleep them out so I can enjoy the rest of the song. <BR/><BR/>I never had *bleep* problem in front of a school classroom, but my children have heard one or two choice words I didn't intend them to hear, thanks to my internal censor that told me, "You remember, don't you? It's not a bad song."CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874073031723676148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10914207.post-1116736226710087972005-05-21T22:30:00.000-06:002005-05-21T22:30:00.000-06:00The teacher didn't make you stop the record after ...The teacher didn't make you stop the record after the "GD" word got dropped a couple of times? There's been times I was listening to something I had never listen to before and my parents just happened to be near when the explicatives started to fly. Though I'll admit I probably listen to a lot of music that I probably shouldn't. I edit the bad words in my mind, though.

Since I don't know, and can't hear, any of the words to any of the songs, I am not taking any chances. They can listen with my husband if he allows it.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649007194044098187noreply@blogger.com
