So I am riding home in the car today after picking up my litle man and depending on the day and how it went will make the decision on whether or not I'm going to get the good stuff. Today was not a disappointment, he was ready to talk. So I begin with my typical question . . . " How was your day, buddy?" His reply is a short good and he gives me the run down, lunch playing, books, table toys. Then it comes. What I have been waiting for, after the obligatory niceties he says it soooo . . . Tyler got in trouble to day for no real reason at all, he just said a bad word that really isn't a bad word at all because Thomas didn't get to play rock, paper, scissors. THE DIRT! That's right, my son is giving me the gossip of the K-4 classroom. Now don't get all judgemental on me saying I shouldn't be encouraging such behavior, but you know if you have kids you do the same thing. You want to hear about the kids that get into trouble, why it happened, what the teacher did, if your kid was involved, etc. You may say its not nice to talk about others, but let's get real . . . we all do it and I want to know what is going on when momma ain't around. And as always the story has to do with Thomas - Benjamin's nemisis. This kid just can't leave him alone, and is sometimes just down right rude to Ben. I hear his name often and today was no exception. Tyler, his little friend decided to add things to rock paper scissors like hammer, diaper and the dreaded "bad word" BOOTY! That's right, the boys added booty to rock paper scissors. And what does booty do you might ask - according to Ben it farts which beats paper somehow??? None the less, he told me all about how Thomas said he wouldn't tell if Tyler let him play and Tyler said you can play but didn't really let him. What was Ben's role? Quiet observer to the wheelings and dealings of two 4 year olds trying not to get into trouble for saying the word booty! I have to say it was quite entertaining and I couldn't stop laughing as he told me the story. I asked a bunch of questions (which he does not like) questions about what exactly happened . . .details, details beause that's what women like! Nonetheless my little man gave me the straight skinny on saying the word booty, and the ramifications of being caught saying such a vile word. Now just in case you were wondering . . . the correct word to refer to your gluteus maximus is bottom or behind ONLY.
