DS has been gone for 2 full weeks of hockey camp! He's been home about 2 hours and I already know that he spent far too much time with teenage males. I know he's officially one now, but his language needs some repair.

I think the language might be the least of things he might learn from other teenage males, that I might worry about. It's all the preoccupation with bodily functions that is hideous lol

Oh - all males seem to find certain bodily functions beyond funny!

Ah - the joys of hockey language. Wait til it hits DD in about 6 years. Hey, my friends and I still get caught doing "OOPS, sorry - hockey talk" . It's sad, but true. DH is pretty good about catching us before total embarassment - I think his DM trained him well so that he knew better than to bring the locker room chat into the house. Don't have an excuse for myself.
Did he have a great time?

Oh - she picks it up from him! oh for some yellow soap handy some days!
Comes of working with men!
Yes!
What did you think of the pictures?

Yeah - but the littlish girls seem to be better than the boys - until about age 12. Funniest thing I remeber - DH & I were working a game - maybe PeeWee Majors or Bantam minors - and there was a 3 on 1, with the one defender working hard, and a goal scored. As I went to report the goal, DH was scooping the puck and skating back to center - and passed the poor D-man, who had his head down, kind of swinging his stick around. I notice DH is trying not to get hysterical at the hand-off of the puck. Well, as he passed the kid, who was muttering to himself- evidently the muttering was "mutter, mutter, ....WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT..mutter...mutter" . Only DH heard, and said "What was that 15 [kid's number] ?" To which the kid cleverly replied "Er - um, I was just saying I think I'll have salad for lunch" . DH "That's what I thought" . Poor kid - of course if the ref hears vociferous obscenity - well, at that time - 10 min penalty. DH thought the comeback was so clever - and he figured no one else heard it. The kid knew - and well, officiating the rest of the game went pretty well, regardless of the lopsided score. Ever since - we regularly use the key phrase "salad for lunch" - when that hockey language starts to slip - or wants to slip.
I don't know - I've had exceptionally polite, or careful around the girl men, and OTOH some officemates whose idea of what was acceptable made the other guys blush. One actually thought he was complimenting me - I'd come back with new perfume after a stint in France - it wasn't available here. I had a little on at work, and this guy asked "hmmm - what smells good here" - so I let him sniff my wrist. The response - along the lines of wow, that's nice -followed by the ever-so-apropriate-phrase "You can sit on my face anytime". Talk about dumbfounded - I can't even remember my exact retort - I think our third officemate kind of bellowed at him. But, I've never forgotten.
The lax hockey lingo - I think it comes of spending too much time with guys having liquid replenishment after hockey!
That's what counts.
Very cute - thanks so much - everyone looks happy - well in the front .
ellice - off to more house readying
Spew!
My favorite was when a player on DH's team started cursing (on the bench ) about the officials and this kid was about as mild mannered as they come. (actually took his hat off entering the rink)
Well, Coach, this game is enough to piss off a saint.
LOL!
I love the place the town team is practicing - no beer allowed in the locker rooms and the locker rooms are actually cleaned and washed!
In deed!
The back is just wet and the house is SO far from the street!
