My great-grandparents and grandparents are all gone except for one, and they didn't leave much of a mark on me. I wish I had gotten to know them better 

He taught me very little.  Most of the Spanish I know is a result of me playing soccer for 15 years with the majority of my team being from Mexico.  And most of my vocabulary is actually profanity.  

Why is it people always know the bad words   

I've seen a few profane tattoos in Spanish. I always wonder if the person in question chose the words consciously    

As I said, I only know them because I spent hours on end with my Mexican friends. Obviously, they cursed a lot...effectively tainting my young mind. With Spanish at least. We don't talk about the fact that both my parents were in the Navy and my first word was a curse word.

You can google images, there have been some amazing covr ups/changes to tattoos. I personally love them, I have 4, I started small, with a small sun/moon on my ankle in 1999. Last one I got was a few years ago. It covers most of my right shoulder blade and swirls over my shoulder a bit. I had a friend who had a small home made cross on her ankle and it is now a beautiful brightly colored butterfly, you wouldnt know it.

Really?! The Navy does seem the kind of environment were a baby's first word would be a curse. It only seems natural

I can definitely believe it. But I want to know which 

Tattoos don't hurt that bad. I do have a high tolerance for pain, but I have two tattoos, one on my wrist, and one on my upper back. The shading stung a little, but overall, not too bad. Now, I have heard adipose tissue can really suck, (like your butt) and your ribs if you're skinny can be rough. But so worth it if you have something meaningful to get. Like a Steelers tattoo. Updated twice. Yut.

My mom says that when I was very young, my first word as "fuck". I can't really verify whether or not that is true, but I believe her.

*faints* I don't think I have that kind of pain tolerance

For some reason I also believe her   

My first word was "mom". How dull and... angelic

Could be worse. Your first word could have been something like: "poo".

Ha. I don't think so 

I was never interested in poo and mud as a child. I was civilized  

For some reason, I imagine a baby with a top hat and a monocle.
