As I drove Offspring #2 to the airport this morning she said she likes the way I leap ahead with my words when I talk. I had no idea what she meant. So she explained that when I hesitate between words she thinks I am editing out the profanity. I do that. Sometimes, yes I do think a vulgarity but keep it to myself. I am way more profane in my thoughts than in my words. But in this case my hesitation wasn't to allow time for the vulgar word not to be spoken. This time I hesitated because I was gathering my thoughts. The sentence I said was, "Some people cannot understand that you can support (pause) blue lives matter and (pause) black lives matter. This is not a (pause) black and blue world."
