Do You Know What One Is?

After arguing during the entire way back from school with her older brother, Sara had had enough from Cal and promptly engaged in elevating her level of insults that she had learned during the course of the previous days.

"Cal, you are such a douche bag"

What Sara didn't know, by virtue of Cal entering the home first was, that both parents had overheard the last part of the conversation. Cal being older but still impulsive and limited in his stressed vernacular observations muttered, "Mother Fucker" upon seeing his parents.

Cal was not worried so much about his parents witnessing the argument with Sara but rather, the lenghty "talking to" they were about to receive from each in their quest to out-parent the other. As if on que, the father addresses Sara with, "Sara, where did you hear that?"

"At School"

"Do you know what a Douche Bag is?"

"No, I just heard it at school"

"Well Sara, a douche bag is a bag a woman fills with vinegar, water, and other things and then uses it to clean her vagina"

"Gross" Sara exclaimed while covering her ears.

"Come with me and I'll show you one" the dad said while getting a huge laugh from the mother and son as her face changed to bright red.

Not to be outdone as well as teach Cal a lesson, the mother asks, "Cal, do you know what a Mother Fucker is?"

Seeing Sara escape punishment, Cal quickly implemented the same strategy as Sara while predicting his embarrassment level would be greatly reduced.

"No, I just heard it at school" Cal quipped

"Well Cal, it is not a very nice word to say especially if you don't know what it is" she began while Cal became slightly agitated with what appeared to be the pending equivalent to a Senate Hearing on worker compensation in Angola.

As the father looked over at Cal as if to say, "Listen to your mother" followed by the compassionate look of an attorney walking his murder client in front of a Texas Jury, a look of panic overtook him.

"Well, if you don't know what one is Cal" she continued while motioning to the bedroom, "Come with me and I'll show you".
