Parenthood Quote by Jill Smokler
““I naively thought that when I had kids, my language would somehow clean up, but instead, I found that parenthood gave me much more of a reason to curse. I mean, really, what was I swearing about before, anyway? Traffic? A zit? A broken nail? Spilled milk? Puh-lease. Once I became a parent, only then did I really have something to swear about.””
