Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: The scene shows a family conversation. The mother, who has medium-length brown hair and a yellow shirt, is speaking to her son, a young boy with red hair and a round face. The father, wearing a blue shirt, seems to be in agreement.

• Mother: "Son, we've decided to stop cussing in front of you. From now on, whenever one of us swears, we’ll give a dollar to charity."

Panel 2: The scene shifts ten years later. Two young men are working at a fast-food restaurant. One has a name tag that says "Temp Burger" and appears to be speaking to another who seems frustrated.

• Worker: "So, why couldn’t you afford college?"
• Son: "My f–kin’ parents."

The second worker is wearing a red shirt and looks surprised.
