Y'all... OMG! I cannot believe what happened. This is literally the title of our video - "OMG! Darius Swore!" - and let me tell you THE STORY behind this because I am still in shock!
So we're sitting in the car at Culver's, eating our burgers and just talking about random stuff, right? And somehow we got on the topic of Darius cussing. Now, let me tell y'all something first: In my ENTIRE life, me and his daddy, we don't cuss. We have NEVER cussed in front of our children. Not once. Not ever.
Darius even said in the video that he has never heard us swear before in his entire life. His friends think that's so weird! They're like, "Your parents have NEVER sworn? Not even when they're angry?" Nope! Never! That's just how we raised them.

But y'all... my baby has been out here in these streets CUSSING!
Let me tell you how I found out. This boy butt dials me ALL THE TIME. Like, all the time! When he's at school, when he's at parties - somehow his phone just calls me. And one time... ONE TIME... he butt dialed me and I heard him say "ASS"!
I said, "Oh my gosh!" And at first, I was like, maybe that was somebody else? But no, it was DEFINITELY him! So you know what I did? I stayed on that phone! I wanted to see what else was gonna come out of his mouth. I needed to hear this for myself!
And y'all, this boy said THREE cuss words! Maybe two, maybe three - I can't remember exactly. But he was cussing like a sailor! Well... not really like a sailor because here's the thing...

He sounded SO CORNY!
I'm sorry, Darius, I love you baby, but you cannot cuss! You don't know how to cuss! You sound so LAME when you do it!
I told him in the video, "You sound corny when you swear." And he was like, "I don't think so!" But trust me, he does!
See, there's people that cuss that are really cool with it. Like, they got the swag to it. They got the CUSSING SWAG! You know what I'm saying? Like people from Chicago - they got that swag cuss. People from New York - they got another swag to their cussing. It's a whole thing!
But Darius? He's from Greenfield, Wisconsin! And when he cusses, it sounds like... like he just learned how to do it yesterday! He's not seasoned with it! You can tell he just started cussing, so he thinks it's cool, but he don't have the swag to it. The cussing swag? He ain't got it!

I was on that phone waiting for him to say another cuss word because he sounded so ridiculous the first time, I wanted to hear it again just to confirm! I was like, "Did I hear what I thought I heard?" And then he said it again in the sentence and I'm like, "Oh no, he can't... he don't know how to cuss!"
Now, during our Culver's conversation, Darius tried to justify it. He was going on and on about how cuss words are "just words" and that we as a society have conditioned ourselves to believe they're bad. He was getting all philosophical, talking about, "We're only humans on Earth for about 73 years, and there's about six or seven words that we've created to be swear words. Why have we made them bad words?"
And I'm sitting there like, "Okay, but why can't you use them on your job then? Why can't you cuss out your employees? Huh? Tell me that!"
He tried to say it's because we've conditioned society to think it's bad, and I'm like, "Exactly! So you know it's inappropriate!"

Then he admitted that when he was younger, he used to judge his friends for cussing! He would be like, "Oh, you're going to hell for swearing!" And then peer pressure got the best of him and he started doing it too. He tried to act like he doesn't think it's a big deal now.
But I told him straight up - he's doing TOO MUCH! He's trying to be cool, trying to fit in with the crowd, trying to be in the "in group." And it's not working! Because he sounds CHEESY!
He tried to argue that he's not doing it to sound cool. I said, "Well, if you're not doing it to sound cool, why are you saying it?" He couldn't even give me a good answer!

And y'all, the funny thing is, this boy has slipped up in front of me a couple times before and I didn't even say anything! He doesn't even realize I heard him! One time he said something and I was just quiet, and he probably thought I didn't hear it. But I heard it! I just didn't address it because... what am I gonna do? He's 22 years old!
But I will say this - the first time I heard him slip up in person, he felt SO embarrassed! He knew he messed up! And there's been a couple other times where he's done it and I'm like, "I know he thinks I wasn't listening, but I heard that!"

At one point in the video, I even tried to demonstrate how he sounds when he cusses. He was trying to say "forget that" but making it sound cool, and I'm like, "You sound crazy!" He tried to say "far for nougat" instead of the F-word, and I'm like, "WHAT?! Far for nougat?!"
See, I try not to even say the alternatives! Like if I'm frustrated, I might say "dang" or "I can't stand you" or "you get on my nerves" - but I'm not out here saying the actual cuss words! I have said maybe the S-word or the F-word before in my LIFE, but I was never a habitual swearer. Never!
His daddy, though? Oh, in his past life before me, he said he used to cuss. He's from Chicago, so that cussing swag was real! But he stopped all that when we got together.

The thing that really got me was when Darius said, "I don't think anyone's ever told me I sound weird when I cuss." And I had to tell him, "That's because they're not from Chicago, Darius!" They don't know what REAL cussing swag sounds like!
He kept trying to defend himself, saying words are just words and it's all about context and intention. And I get what he's saying - I do. But there's a reason we don't use those words! There's a reason they're considered inappropriate in professional settings, in front of grandma, in front of customers!
Towards the end of our conversation, he even admitted that when he was younger and his friends would cuss, he would think they sounded corny too! So he KNOWS! He knows how it sounds! But now he's doing the same thing!

I told him, "You're trying to be different now that you're an adult. You're trying to do 'adult things.'" And I get it - he's 22, he's been on YouTube since he was 16, people still see him as a kid, and he wants to break out of that image. But cussing ain't it, baby! That's not the way!
The whole conversation honestly made me sad because it's another sign of how much he's changed. First the praying thing, now the cussing... my baby is out here in the world doing things I never thought he would do.
But you know what? At the end of the day, he's grown. He's 22 years old. He's gonna make his own choices. All I can do is tell him the truth - which is that he sounds CORNY when he cusses - and pray that one day he realizes that's not who he needs to be.

And y'all, if you're watching this and you're Darius's age or younger, let me give you some advice: Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Just because cussing makes you feel grown doesn't mean it makes you look cool.
Especially if you sound like Darius when you do it!
I love you, baby, but you need to work on that cussing swag if you gonna do it. Or better yet, just stop! Come back to your raising! Come back to who we raised you to be!

Okay, I'm done. I said what I said. Y'all can come at me in the comments, but I'm telling the truth! My baby sounds corny when he cusses and somebody needed to tell him!
And the fact that this is what our video is titled? "OMG! Darius Swore!" Chile, this is really what we've come to!
Pray for me, y'all. Pray for all the mamas out here dealing with their babies growing up and changing. It's HARD!
Alright, that's all. Love y'all! Peace! ✌️
