Dang

There is a progression
in the use of foul language
in one's lifetime.

At 3 or 4, my son
responded to laughter
at a family Christmas party
saying, "That's so funny,
dammit."  and it was.

He's a first grader now
and his word of choice is "dang"
as in "Dang, look at this" or
simply "Daaaaaaang."

His conversation is peppered
with the exclamation.  It is a way
to express his budding cool.
and he is.

Eventually he will dive deeper
into filth, but for now he'll
dang his way around, moving slowly
toward an inevitable f-bomb.
