Four-lettered Words

Please excuse the rough language in the following story...

A young couple got married and went on their honeymoon. When they got
back, the bride immediately called her mother. "Well," said her mother, "So
how was the honeymoon?"

"Oh, mama," she replied, "The honeymoon was wonderful! So romantic..."

Suddenly she burst out crying. "But, mama, as soon as we returned, Sam
started using the most horrible language -- things I'd never heard before!
I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! You've got to take me home, PLEASE
MAMA!"

"Sarah, Sarah," her mother said, "calm down! You need to stay with your
husband and work this out. Now, tell me, what could be so awful? WHAT Four
letter words?"

"Please don't make me tell you, mama," wept the daughter, "I'm so
embarrassed, they're just too awful! COME GET ME, PLEASE!!"

"Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your mother
these horrible 4-letter words!"

Still sobbing, the bride said, "Oh, Mama..., he used words like: dust,
wash, iron, cook..."

"I'll pick you up in twenty minutes," said the mother.
