I know my parents don't like it when I say bad words like 'damn' and 'hell,' but it's just a habit.

Well, you can try to break that habit. Maybe find alternative words to use instead.
human
Yeah, I guess so. It's just hard to control sometimes.

Maybe we could come up with a signaling system for when you start to slip up. Like if I notice you saying a bad word, I'll give you a subtle reminder.
human
That's a good idea. I could use all the help I can get.

And you know, it's not just about your parents. Sometimes saying those words can offend other people.
human
You're right. I need to be more mindful of my language.

It's all about breaking the habit and being aware of your words. Just like with cutting out articles from magazines and newspapers to declutter, it takes effort to change our behavior.

I see what you mean. I'll work on it. Thanks for the support, honey.
