Do you talk to your momma with that mouth?

Part of my job is monitoring social media for my customers and I'm a Facebook fan myself.   I use social media to reconnect with friends from my past and catch up with them.  It allows me to cheer on their kids and "like" their life events while managing my day to day life.  

I'm amazed, however, at the number of people who have all out wars with people on social media.  It's like a billboard where your messages are publishing to all the passing motorists.   One in particular took to Facebook to talk about her coworkers.  She was slinging names like Sponge Bob slings Crabby Patties.  I was a little shocked.   Then, I wondered if a coworker was a "friend" of hers.  Awkward.   A day passed and a few exchanges later and the language got so bad, I had to delete it all. 

My kids and I were watching a show one day where the gal said, "Do you talk to your momma with that mouth?"   We chuckled and sometimes use it as a humorous way to remind each other that our talking has stepped over a line.  

When people post on social media, they may want to think about momma.  :)    Or Grandma or Auntie or whomever may be viewing it.   If you are comfortable with the language you use, have at it and let it flow.  If, however, you get caught up in the heat of the moment, you may want to pause and think, would I talk this way to my momma?   If not, you may want to wait or private message someone.
