It Looks Like a Penis

January 4th, 2009

Tonight at dinner, #3 was trying to get the attention of #1.  He was holding up a strangely shaped carrot.  It was longer than your typical baby carrot with a lovely curved shape and a narrowing hooded appearance at one end.  Immediately I thought, “It looks like a penis.”  I actually opened my mouth to say this and then realized that one of my new years resolutions was to only say “penis” in front of my children five times in a week.  I was not ready to waste one of my five on this carrot occasion.  You never know when an actual anatomic reference may be necessary so I closed my mouth and for once in my life, held back.  I looked up at #1 and she was already looking at me.  Our eyes locked onto each other.  The curves of our mouths simultaneously rose and loud laughter (the kind that’s not allowed) ensued.   Ahhhhh.  My evil plan has worked.  This child who used to yell “MOMMY!!!” every time the p-word was said is now as sick as I am.  My work here is done.

    Moesey, I don’t think you’re gonna have much luck with this particular resolution. And being the only “lady” on my sidebar who’s shouting “penis”, you might do well to keep saying it proudly.
