As soon as the newlyweds returned from their honeymoon the young bride called her mother, who lived a couple of hours away.
โHow did everything go?โ her mom asked.
โOh, mother,โ she began, โThe honeymoon was wonderful!
So romantic, we had a terrific time.
But, mother, on our way back, Andy started using really horrible language.
Stuff Iโd never heard before Really terrible four-letter words.
Youโve got to come get me and take me home.
Please, Mother!
โ the new bride sobbed over the telephone.
โBut, honey,โ the mother countered, โWhat four-letter words?โ
โI canโt tell you, mother, theyโre too awful!
Come get me, please!
โ
โDarling, you must tell me what has gotten you so upsetโฆ.
Tell mother what four-letter words he used.โ
Still sobbing, the bride said, โMother, words like dust, wash, iron, cook.โ
