everyone has a different “normal”
what they’re raised in
what they’re used to
and I wonder
how much that “normal”
hangs on
if a child is raised around screaming all the time
will that child become an adult who screams?
if a child hears a lot of cussing
will it become part of their vocabulary?
it could
but it also doesn’t have to be
I believe parents
teachers
coaches
and the like
who are creating an environment for children
should carry themselves well
regardless of their past
growing up
involves learning the difference
between right and wrong
and choosing right
but then it comes back to “normals”
maybe wrong IS right
I used to cuss all the time
scream at my kids
slam doors through the frame
my kids’ “normal”
but I changed
I hope others change too
all it takes is for one to change
to make lifetimes of different
