both of her grandmothers, shopping in a local department store. The town we lived in was rather small, one of those where everybody knew everybody else. My sister and her husband were in the habit of not watching what they say around her. These two "prim & proper" Southern Belles (my mom & the other Grandma - pillars of the community type) were slightly embarassed when my niece stubbed her toe on one of the store fixtures and hollered "Aw Shit!" Of course, the other shoppers couldn't see my niece's head above the store fixtures when they turned to see where this expletive originated; they could only see the two red-faced grandmothers. This was their first grandchild. I don't think they ever took the rest of the grandchildren shopping.
