Got your attention didn't I
.
What is appropriate to say? As I sit here at 1:19am I hear my sister in the background as she utters the words *nigga*. It caught my attention right away and when I asked her to repeat what she said she neglected to include the word *nigga.* I've heard her say other words but every time I comment on it she states she does not mean any offense by the words. She states that she always plays around with her friends using various words, which would offend some people. She's even used words that have offended my mom and she always says the same thing, "I didn't mean it like that. I'm just playing." Now before I smack her over the head for the hundredth time, well let me do that first...now is it right for parent to allow such verbal behavior? Is it ok for teenagers to get away with using such words if they say," I didn't mean anything by it," or "I mean it in a nice way." As I wait for your opinion, I shall entertain myself with the TUNA DANCE, which is how I look when I dance
