I really need to write a book with some of the things my kids say and do. I have no idea where they come up with half the stuff that comes out of there mouth. Here are two of the things the kids said/did today…
The kids were watching Noggin (love that channel. I think everything on that channel is good). That owl (I think it is an owl…anyhoo) says “point your peepers over here”. Out of the corner of my eye I see my son pulling his pants down. I go to yell at him to put his pants on when I started to laugh to myself. Zachary calls his penis a peeper. So when that cartoon owl says “point your peepers…” he did! When I told him that the word “peepers” is another word for your eyes…well you should have seen the look on his face. I would have loved to have had an inside look as to what was going through that head of his!
Now because Bella hears Zack call his penis a peeper, she just naturally assumes that her area is called a peeper too. She was rather upset when we told her it wasn’t. Tonight she and I were laying in bed together before she fell asleep and she says “itchy mommy. My girly butt is itchy”. Now where she got the idea to call it a girly butt is beyond me. I do know that Zachary referred to it as a front butt when she was a little younger, but she would have been way to young to have rememebered something like that.
I know there are some families out there that teach they correct terms for everything, and thats fine. I see nothing wrong with that. As I also see nothing wrong with nicknames for things either (providing they aren’t dirty sounding…I don’t want my little girl walking around referring to her “girly butt” as a “cooter” or something like that). But I gotta say…I am so glad my son started calling it a “peeper” instead of a “winky”. I don’t think I could say “point your winky in the toilet” with a straight face!
omg! WHen i read this i laughed out loud! thats classic. I too love noggin. I think its all good cartoons and no comercials.
OMG, I almost spit out my cola. The pepper one is great. Almost as good as my son telling me about how Santa has a penis, because he IS a boy you know, in the middle of a crowded restaurant when he was 3.
That’s funny Amanda!
My son had his hands down his pants at a restaurant. I first asked him if he had to use the restroom. He says no so I promptly told him to get his hands out of his pants. He responds with “but mommy my peeper is going up and I don’t like it”. I thought the older couple at the booth behind us was going to choke on her salad. She was trying not to laugh!
For heaven sake!!
I love a good laugh in the morning.
Thanks.
Oh my goodness. A few months ago I was leaning over giving my 5 yr old a bath and she said, “Mom, I can see your tummy bumps.” NO CLUE where that came from. So I told my sister. “You’re kidding!? That’s what you used to call them!”
And I really hate that I even know this information, but it’s not the owl who talks. It’s Moose A. Moose. Zee (the bird) doesn’t talk, I don’t think.
Too funny! We love Noggin over here too.
lol I think you are right. It is the Moose.
Classic! Love it. Noggin and Sprourt are great and the only two channels my boys watch.
I’ll bet it was hard not to laugh out loud! My son called his a wee wee. But, I like peeper too! 🙂
I have such a hard time not laughing sometimes with the things my kids say and do.
