If you know me well you know I don't like the word 'moist.' Yuck. I hate the sound and the way your mouth forms when saying the word. I know that sometimes there is no other way to describe something but to say it is ----- but I would prefer to not say it at all. I would rather say things are damp. But cake can't be damp--that's not appetizing.
So I was driving the boys the other day and somehow the word 'slogan' was brought up. Here is the conversation that transpired:
Cooper: I don't like that word. Slogan. It's a dumb word.
Grayson: I know a couple of other words you don't like--yummy in my tummy! (laughing)
Cooper: Yeah, I don't like slogan, yummy or tummy. And another one--boo boo!
Me: What??? (honking and wheezing laughter ensues to the point I can barely breathe!) You don't like 'boo boo?' As in 'I have a boo boo' ?
Cooper: Yeah, I don't like that word. Boo boo. A stupid word!
Me (Still laughing and slapping the steering wheel I am laughing so hard)
Grayson: You know what word I don't like. Turd. Your mouth only makes one shape and your lips stay the same. It's a gross word!
Me (Still laughing--no sound is coming from my mouth that is wide open)
Cooper: Mom, calm down. Mom, stop laughing. Mom, put it out of your mind so you stop laughing.
Grayson: Slogan-yummy-tummy- boo boo- moist- turd!!! (laughing)
Cooper: Mom, please stop laughing! You are gonna wreck the car!
Me (tears rolling down my face from laughing so hard)
I can't believe my boys have words they dislike just like I do. Ken dislikes the word panties. "It's underwear." is what he will say. The apples aren't falling too far.....
