I don’t want them to grow up to be rude and offensive people.

* swear jar = 욕설을 하면 벌금으로 돈을 넣는 저금통 

Cameron: A what?!

Dorothy: A swear jar. For every swear word you say, you’ll need to put a dollar into the jar.
We’ll save the money for the kids’ education.

Cameron: What the f-?!

Dorothy: Hey, there will be no profanity of any kind in this house. I don’t want you to be
a bad influence on my children. Go ahead. Put a dollar into that jar.
