That sure was funny! My kiddos have made some embarrassing statements like that. I cannot remember any specific ones at the moment, but they are sure to always provide new ones! lol

Families are like that, yep. Four year olds are like that too- I teach preschool, 4 year olds. This was our first week of school and their favorite song (I always know this is coming) is Peanut Butter by Dr. Jean. (She rocks by the way!) It talks about peanut butter on your head, shirt and of course we end up with on your underwear. Nothing like the word underwear to send 12 four year olds into loud hysterics. They love love love it and I love to see them love it. You just gotta appreciate four year old humor from time to time, keeps ya young!

Boogerhead. Or boogerboo. Or sometimes just booger. The story came about because my family all looks alike, and my Dad said that I looked so much like him I “could have just flown out of his nose one day, like a booger”. (I know, it’s gross. And doesn’t really make any sense because we do not really resemble mucus in any way). But now boogerhead is a team of family endearment.

You know, calling anyone a “varmint” is just enough to send me into gales of laughter.

Last night in a local very-casual restaurant, my 4-y-o exclaimed “Nut-crackin’ teeth!” at our waitress. This is one of our family’s established sets of affectionate outbursts — it all comes from when he was potty-training and we’d give him mini tootsie pops as a reward for sitting on the toilet. He never sucked on them — he always chomped down on them to get right to the center, and I would always exclaim “Nut-crackin’ teeth!” — and the rest is history. But try to explain that to a waitress who, admittedly, had rather large teeth…. *sigh*

Picturing Sean laughing while saying those words made me laugh our loud, too. Thanks! I keep reading your blog because it is so good. Unmatched in blogland in my opinion.

Hilarious! We call loved ones “gravy suckin’ pigs”. We’re all affectionate that way.
