The Unspoken
Writing my last post has made me realise bad language had reared it’s ugly head long before I embraced it with a passion. When I was about nine or ten years old I wrote all the swear words I knew - which
were many by that age due to a highly- tuned ear and an older brother, hah and
not forgetting Tony - in lipstick pinched off mum, on my bedroom mirror. How
dared I? I must have been in trouble of some sort as I was very angry with mum
that day and this seemed a perfectly expressive way to show it even though I was quite aware I was being naughty. Very naughty!
Even more daringly (and more stupidly), I went out without cleaning them off first. Aaargh! God knows how I dared to go back in and face the wrath of mum, oh no, much worse, maybe even dad. Managing to sneak past The Parents I ran up to my bedroom, shutting the door behind me. What did I see? Not a word of any kind in sight. Somebody, and I know not whom to this day, had cleaned the mirror back to it’s original shine. Be still my beating hear. Saved! Mightily embarrassed, I remember going downstairs expecting some at the minimum a good talking too but not one word about my unladylike behaviour was said. The episode was The Unspoken….forever.
