Damn Good!

A few days ago, I was lying on my Mom’s bad watching my niece play on the computer when she suddenly said ‘damn’, not just once, but quite a few times.

I debated as to whether I should react, and then decided that if you’ve reached Level 9 of Redbeard after 50 games, and then miss the blue bar and drown, a mild expletive, even if repeated, is permissible.

But today she said it at dinner and my mother expressed shock etc. But my niece gave her a very logical answer as to why it was alright to say ‘damn’. None of the usual ‘But mummy says it’ or ‘If grown-ups can then why can’t I.’

This was her explanation:

It’s okay to say ‘damn’ because they are too kinds of damn – good and bad, and I meant the good one.

What do you mean two kinds?

Yeah there are two kinds – damn good and damn bad!
