She must have boys

The conversation at the lunch table today:
“T is for toot.”
“F is for fart.”
“P is for poop.”

“B is for butt.”

A sophisticated bunch, we are not. But my three-year-old is catching on to phonics. Always look for the blessing, right?

Oh, that Trish has some funny boys! Just for the record, I was never like that. Though I DID have five sisters which may have smoothed over my rough, phonetic edges…

That is right boys will be boys even in the phonics department.

    The boys were putting their creative slant on what’s real to them 😀 Sorry for the jargon!

    After my last post, I’m really working hard on the art of brevity!

As a mom of boys also, we have quite a few conversations that are fart/poop related. Yesterday, the dudes were coming up with names for puppies. My youngest said, “Let’s name one Fred Alan Roger Tim.” I said that is way too long of a name. He replied and said, “Don’t ya get it, Mom? It is the letters in fart!” I am so proud…

  Haha! It’s almost as if he was ready for you to say it was too long and eager to simply abbreviate it for you. You must sigh a lot. My girls like to say poop often. It bugs me, and I just don’t get it. They’re girls! But, I have to admit, when the two-year-old says it in a small voice, it’s extremely cute, and I can’t help but smile. Shame on me!
