Niagara

14. There was frequent swearing in my household growing up

And my dad used all the profanities.


My mom is always horrified when I drop the f bomb so I try not to do that around her.


I don't swear in front of my clients, I do have a filter. My last client that I had asked me one day, "What words can I say in front of you, Niagara?" I let her know whatever she wanted to say was fine with me.

One day she was applying makeup to her face while looking in a mirror and she said, "I look like a fucking whore!". I couldn't help myself and I started laughing because it wasn't what I was expecting from someone who was 93 years young. This comment completely caught me off guard.
