They were shopping for whatnot, and he just yelled at her as a result of his selfishness because she wouldn't get him his poptarts. Now I do realize that this could be the result of laxed parenting or perhaps the example of an aggressive father, but where did he learn to cuss? These weren't regular old potty mouth words either. This is the stuff that MTV and youtube has on all the time. This kid was yelling R-rated words! (heh, well pg-13 words now. That even proves my point some). Our culture has dumbed down what should be punished or looked down upon. Cussing is starting to become "acceptable" in society, but at 10 years of age?! If banned books are taken out of middle school, that's just one less influence on those children's lives to behave inappropriately and out of character<br><b>References : </b><br> Not too very long ago, I saw a normal looking 4th grader cuss out his mother.
