Do they pee with their peanuts?

Yesterday I had my first public preschool "moment", you know one of those incidents when your kid says something potentially embarrassing in front of other people...

We were at the produce section of Publix, our local grocery store. Sarah was in a very chatty mood talking about all kinds of stuff. All of a sudden she said loud: "Mommy do you see the penis?"

I was like: "WHAT?" She is very interested in anatomy and the human body, and she is very well aware what the different parts are called, but I never heard her talk about it in public before.

"Do you see it? Do you see it?" I sure didn't see any penises... Wait! Slap on forehead: She meant the PEANUTS! "Oh, yes sweetie, I see the PEANUTS!"

The bad part is that she kept talking about the "penis" for at least 5 minutes, and there were a few old ladies that raised their eyebrows... I just tried to repeat everything she said with a clearly pronounced PEANUTS, so they wouldn't think we are a completely freaky family...

And then came the money shot: Sarah happily announced: "Some mommies really like to eat PENIS". At this time I could do nothing but laugh...

Have a great Friday!

Barn kan bara komma med de bästa kommentarer. Helt utan att förstå det själv. En helt underbar historia! :-)
Trevlig helg!

Haha!!!
det är ju detta som är så himla härligt med barn! De kan säga precis vad som helst och ändå "get away with it" eftersom man bara tycker det är grymt kul och/eller charmigt! :-D

Ett skrattanfall for ur mig. Dessa små liv.
Vi har det lite lättare i Sverige eftersom barn inte rör ihop penisar med jordnötter.
Fast det finns annat som man kan storkan över.
Kram Ewa
