Chewymom

Today we were headed home from the orthodontist, and I had the pleasure of being the passenger while Ben drove. Funny how that terrified me about eight months ago. He’s turning out to be a really responsible driver, and I can actually concentrate on other things besides smacking my hand on the dash and pumping the imaginary brake.

So today I listened in on a conversation between Sally (5) and Brig (17). And I heard Sally say to Brig, “YOU are the SEXIEST!” Not once but about five times.

I’d like to tell you that I was shocked and horrified, but I was too busy laughing to think of shock and horror. And so was Ben. He asked Sally, “What does ’sexiest’ mean?” (He’s gonna be a great dad someday, I tell ya.)

Sally replied, “It means weird and dumb!”

Right.

And she continued to say, “Brig is the sexiest!” realizing she had an audience in the front seat.

So I asked, “Where did you hear the word ’sexiest?’”

“On Avatar. Katara says it to Saka,” Sally responded, placing her tv watching in serious jeopardy.

When we got home, Ben and I told the story to Drew. I informed him that Sally had heard the word “sexiest” on his beloved TV show Avatar.

Now it was Drew’s turn to burst into laughter. He said, “Mom, Katara called Saka SEXIST!”

Ahhhh….
