I disagree. I think that he grasped the gravity of it...just fine.
And, what's wrong with learning that there is a time and a place for everything? I never for one moment thought that the kid was just going arrive at a sudden epiphany that all swearing is bad, and that he should never ever do it again. But...for one brief shining moment...this kid learned respect, and got the message.
