Bette Midler On Her Swearing And Motherhood: “I hope to do less swearing in the future. I don’t think it’s good to raise children in that atmosphere. Who wants a foul-mouthed kid? I wasn’t foul-mouthed until I was 24 years old. But when I was a kid we got our mouths washed out with soap if you said’darn.’ Or ”˜drop dead,’ that was the worst thing you could say about anybody. Then you’d really get kicked.” (The Milwaukee Sentinel ”“ Jan 23, 1987)
