The contract

swearing is punishable by a $1 fine in our house which has to be paid immediately. No, I'm not going to list the words because everybody knows them. If it's the F word, then the fine goes up to $5. I pay this fine because it helps me not be so much of a trash mouth and it also makes it clear to kate that this kind of language in not accceptable. But Arnie doesn't pay and doesn't like to pay because as he said to kate last night, it's your fault that I swear. you provoke me. She wasn't buying it and just kept on message asking for her $1. The conversation went on for some time with me just watching this tennis match of words until they seem to have come to some resolution which is that Arnie would try not to swear and he would pay his fine. kate would try not to be in the grip of teenage hormones and behave like a wretch. And if she was a wretch three times during the week then she would pay Arnie $3.

My role: Arbitor of bad behavior and foul language.

But these two went to contract on these issues. And this morning they were still revising the contract with a termination clause that required them to keep talking and to negotiate a new agreement.
