Something Art said in class made me think about how I first learned the word "fuck," and I have been at a loss for what to post so I'll write about this. I must have been about five or six at the time. I was very proud of how I could string together letters and make up words. So I was talking to my mother, and saying something along the lines of "B-U-C-K-Y spells bucky, and C-U-C-K-Y spells cucky, and D-U-C-K-Y spells ducky, and F-U-C-K-Y spells fucky." My mom, who could obviously see this coming, told me that it was bad word that had to do with "making babies." I didn't really understand what was so bad about this, but I stopped using the word. Except that for a long time I thought that the F word was "fucky" instead of "fuck."

Anyway, that's my story. What's yours?
