Ass Mom,.

Today I was sitting on the couch feeding Ethan and Aubrey was sitting next to me playing on her DS.  The TV was off and I was enjoying the Christmas tree and the peace and quiet.

All of the sudden Aubrey closes her DS and announces mater-of-factly, that she "has an ass.  It's another name for butt."  Wow!  Am I out in left field?  I didn't see that coming!  The ass truck just blind sided me!  I politely explained that "ass is a "BAD" word for butt" and that "we should just call our butt a butt".

Don't I feel like an ass!  Another word for donkey...we will have to tackle that one another day.

Tis' the holiday season and my family and I are all snuggled on the couch watching a holiday favorite, Home Alone.  We are to the best part of the movie when the “bad guys” are trying to get into the house to chase the cute little Macaylay Culikn. 

It’s a very climatic seen in the movie; there are paint cans flying and things getting lit on fire. Oh what fun!  Ella is very invested in the movie at this point.  I hear her say, “oh no, he is going to get hit in the knuckles!”  Hum, I think to myself… wonder where she thinks her knuckles are?  Deciding that I had better brave what I fear is coming, I ask her “Ella, where are your knuckles?”  She pointed to her crotch.  Yep!  I saw that one coming!  Trying my hardest not to crack up laughing (It doesn’t help that my husband is smirking from his chair), I explain to Ella that “knuckles are on your fingers” and that sometimes “boys call their private parts nuts”, not to be confused with knuckles.   “OH!” she says and keeps on watching the movie like nothing has happened. 

Moral of the story, don’t pop your “knuckles” boys!
