Sherlock texts

Swearing

Rosie, I'm not sure if you know this but John knows BSL - SH

Wait, really? - Rosie

Yes really and we don't swear in this household! - JW

I didn't swear! - Rosie

Maybe not verbally but you did using sign language - JW

That's not fair! - Rosie

You know damm well that it's fair - JW

Isn't 'damm' a swear word? - Rosie

Isn't what counts as a swear word subjective? - SH

Then I make the f word not a swear word because it was the only word that appropriately showed my anger - Rosie

Well, it's not very polite - JW

I wasn't trying to be polite - Rosie

We just don't use that word and that's finale - JW

Whatever and, anyway, how come you know so much about sign language? - Rosie

Sherlock taught me in case he goes non-verbal and needs to talk to me. It also came in handy during cases - JW

Okay but how did you know that I knew sign language and that I wasn't just fidgeting with my hands - Rosie

I watched Sherlock teach you ever since you were a baby. He would get more excited when you put your first phrase together in BSL than when you spoke your first word - JW

That sounds like Papa - Rosie

So, we have a truce then. No more swearing? - JW

No punishment? - Rosie

No, punishments are a bit old fashioned but if you swear again then maybe you won't get away with it so easily - JW

You're old fashioned - Rosie

I can change my mind about the punishment thing - JW

She does have a point though, my love - SH

Oi, you'll both be punished if you keep this up - JW

It's 2 vs 1 though so what are you going to do? - Rosie

Exactly - SH

Well, I have the power of not paying for takeaways anymore and cancelling cases on my side - JW

Nevermind then - Rosie

Agreed - SH

God, I love you both - JW

Equally? - SH

Of course - JW

But me more though, right? - Rosie

Yeah, just don't tell your Papa - JW

Hey! I can still read your texts - SH
