Utter one of these, and you’ll suffer the wrath of She Who Must Be Obeyed.
It makes the whole family look bad.
And it makes Mama doubt whether you will EVER be worthy of Great-Aunt Aurelia’s sterling.

Thesedeadly expressionsare guaranteed to get you on her bad side in a hurry.
I made the mistake of saying “crap” in front of Mama once.
It never happened again.
“Uh-huh” or “Unh-unh”
Those two are like fingernails on a chalkboard.
“What?”
“I can’t!”
The response to which is always, “Can’t never could do anything.”
“Hate”
That word is a big no-no.
We have to say “strongly dislike” and qualify it.
And while we’re here, let’s also refrain from Saying that anything “sucks.”
Filler Words
Filler words, especially “like.”
“Shut up”
She can’t stand that.
