The words every mother loves to hear

It's that time again. A post chronicling the crazy sayings of my favorite 5 year old little boy. Are you game?

Immediately after pulling away from preschool today, Jake utters this little gem of a sentence; "Mom, I know how to spell boob! It's easy, B-O-O-B. B-OO-B!"

Ummmmm.....what IS Miss Kristen teaching you anyway???

Keep in mind that I was driving on snow covered streets, so laughing uncontrollably was not a good option at the time, plus I didn't want to encourage him. So I commended him on his correct spelling and calmly asked where he heard that word.

Jake: "Sister Graham (his teacher at church) has one."

Oh dear, this is getting bad.

Me: "And...does Sister Graham talk about this thing?"

Jake: "Yeah, all the time, Mom."

Hmmmm...

Me: "When does she talk about it?"

Jake: "In class. She calls her little boy Boo-Boo, and sometimes just Boob."

Ahhhh...big sigh of relief. He's not talking about what I think he's talking about!

Miss Kristen, I want you to know that your Zoo Phonics are working beautifully! Jake is sounding out all sorts of different words ;)

Stay tuned for the next installment of crazy in the car.

that was a giggle, though i am still confused- why would a mom call her baby a boob- it seems like there will be deep-seeded issues when that child grows up.
