Having the mind of a 9-year-old boy makes it difficult to have adult conversation!

I confess. I really do have a mind of a 9-year-old boy. I think SpongeBob is hilarious (I {heart} Patrick Star!!), a man dressed in drag with hairy legs is genius, and poo poo pee pee will always be funny. And farts. Oh, and a good belch. The word butt is awesome, too!

I have come to realize I am not the best candidate to teach my girls how to be ladies.

I spent the day at my mom’s house today as my brother’s family is in town. The cousins were all downstairs laughing hysterically at the word ‘butt’. I totally understand. My SIL’s sister said her daughter is loving it because she isn’t allowed to say ‘butt’ at her home. My kids watch a cartoon where a character says “I’m gonna kick your butt!” about 30 times in 15 minutes.

The word ‘fart’ is not preferred at my friend’s house. I say ‘fart-knocker’ on a regular basis. My brother started a website about love and you can submit what you think love is. I sent in “Love is when you still love someone in spite of all their farts…I mean faults…” I was censored. I was offended. He told me not everyone cares for that word. I don’t get it.

Tonight, before I left my mom’s the girls were, once again, enjoying the word ‘butt’. My SIL said, “What is so funny about that word, girls?” I looked at her and said, “I think it’s a gem! It always gets a laugh!”

Of course, this is coming from a girl whose brother gave his first talk in primary by grabbing  the microphone and saying, “POO POO PEE PEE!!”

That would’ve brought a tear to my eye if I was the Primary President.

Well, my friend, you're not the only one. I also think those things are forever funny. I think we must be kindred spirits

There's plenty of those stuffy hoity toity girlie girls PRETENDING to be offended all the mother-loving time. God says there is a time and a season for ALL things, which I interpret to include fart jokes. We are 24-7 "what's up chicken butt ha ha ha" here! Everyone has their limits with certain words ... I got tired of nuts and banished it. Now we entering a new level of creativeness of the young male mind ... Ow he hit me in the nuggets, the nachos, the hee haws, the jingle bells. My kids are too young to appreciate it YET, but my favorite joke: Hey look! What's that huge thing in the sky? Why, I think it's a planet! (*sniff sniff*) Ah yeah, it's Uranus.

That's all.

You're too funny, I'm too tired. I'm going to take my butt to bed now. G-nite!

It says I posted at 9:38pm but it's really 10:38pm. I know I'm getting old but I can really still stay up till 11:00 without dying (most of the time). G-nite again...

Kayleen and U spent hours one Saturday teaching our sweet little 2 year old sister, Ruth how to say fart, poop, belch, and butt...how I cherish the laughs we got when she would finally say those all too humerous words!

Did Jon really censor you?!!?!

mintifresh said...

Yes, my friend, he did.

I was going to say "What brother censored you? I've sat around the Thomas dinner table and there's not a lot of censoring going on there!"

you really should have been the mother of boys! i think you'll have to come over and give my kids a few lessons. for instance, i don't even think evan knows it's possible to pee anywhere but in the toilet...
