Oh No He Di'int

Troy and I have been really impressed with our little guy's vocabulary lately. He's been using expressive adverbs & adjectives, pairing them with phrases that I didn't even know he'd heard before. Enough to make your heart swell.

Or, enough to make your face turn red with embarrassment and wish that he was still that ga-ga-goo-goo-ing infant who kept his opinions to himself.

As we turned down the canned vegetable aisle today at Wal-Mart, there was a very large woman in front of us aways. The closer we got, the little guy became very perceptive.

And vocal.

"Mommy, look at that huge butt."

What? No. Surely he didn't say that. Just ignore it. He must have said something else.

"Look at the huge butt, Mom."

Crap. He did just say huge butt. Ok, Kel. Keep walking. Just ignore him as we pass this woman.

"Mommy, look. Look at the huge butt!"

Ok. There's no way to deny that he said that. But just pretend that it didn't happen. Don't address it and make things worse.

We finally reached the end of the aisle, and I turned down the next as fast as my waddle would take me.

This got me thinking about all of the other things that might possibly come out of his mouth! I'm debating whether or not I should have a talk with him about what he said. I'm afraid that bringing it up might make it even more fun for him to say. Plus, he was just stating what he saw. For now, I'm continuing to ignore it.

That is, until it turns to "Mommy, look at your huge butt!"
