I am <i>so</i> over that phase of childrearing.<br><br>When my youngest was about three, we were at a restroom in a touristy mall in Monterey. He's in the stall, I'm waiting outside. Suddenly he starts singing at the top of his lungs, "A bootie is a butt, and a butt is a bottom!" Over and over and over again. I'd have been embarrassed if it weren't so funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-59857955623946275882008-05-03T22:58:00.000-04:002008-05-03T22:58:00.000-04:00Poo is always hilarious.

"WHAT ARE CONDOMS" (pronounced, by said child, in some faux British accent like "Khan-Dahms). I said, "I'll tell you later." "No, tell me now. Are they candy?" "Tell you later." "No, now." So I did--a very cut and dry sort of explaination about sometimes you're not ready to have a baby and all that. And then she looked at my very preggers stomach at the time and said, "Well, what's wrong with you?

One day I stayed home and my husband reported that a kindly grandmother asked my youngest why I hadn't come to the pool. Whereupon my youngest gave a very graphic description of my particular condition and why it meant that I could not swim. She embellished it richly and her voice carried. My husband assured me that everyone in the pool heard her, and that two hours later people were still laughing about this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-41972413297733205192008-05-04T19:07:00.000-04:002008-05-04T19:07:00.000-04:00I can't breathe, I can't breathe!!I can't breathe, I can't breathe!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-15503791307115603332008-05-04T21:21:00.000-04:002008-05-04T21:21:00.000-04:00OMG, Erica, I'm still ROFLOMG, Erica, I'm still ROFLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-18979471378809706652008-05-04T23:27:00.000-04:002008-05-04T23:27:00.000-04:00Ello,Gotta love those kids... it's especially nice...Ello,<br><br>Gotta love those kids... it's especially nice to see other people's kids embarrass them for a change - usually it's mine.<br><br>Erica,<br><br>I'm still laughing - you should have reminded her that she needs to thank her grandparents for the lapse in lessons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-90055700139346797992008-05-05T01:09:00.000-04:002008-05-05T01:09:00.000-04:00You are so on -- as a matter of fact, the next tim...You are so on -- as a matter of fact, the next time I come out to DC I insist when we meet that you bring the girls.
