There's a Whore at the Door!
My kids are always crazy when they wake up. It's like somebody secretly gives them an intravenous drip of extra silliness in their sleep. They leap out of bed, run around like wild men, and pretend to be weird characters acting out equally weird scenarios.
In the pre-dawn hours of this morning, we were lying in bed when we heard Colin and Cameron come out of their room and into ours. They bounced around like a couple of pinballs for a minute, then started chasing Josie, our chocolate Lab.
All of a sudden, Colin bellows, "THERE'S A WHOOOORE AT THE DOOR!" in this salty-old-sea-captain type voice.
My eyes widened. I looked at Curtis. We tightened our lips in a (futile) effort to keep from smiling.
"Um, what?" I asked.
"A whore at the door!" Colin repeated cheerfully, bounding after Josie.
"And uh ... what's a whore?"
He's in this phase of making up "a new language," as he calls it. Last night he told me that we no longer live in Iowa, but in a place called Leefan. (I dunno. Your guess is as good as mine.) We've already been through the excruciating process of trying to explain the meaning of "whore," but apparently we didn't offer up a satisfactory definition - because when I asked him what it was, he pointed at Josie.
"A whore is a type of dog," he explained.
"I think that's bitch," Curtis whispered to me.
Potato, potahto.

LOL Well, at least it rhymes! Let's just hope he doesn't say it when you're out in public somewhere......
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Plus, it makes a title that makes all your readers instantly curious....the whole scenario would have been funnier if your sister had come to visit and rang the doorbell right before that or something. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Now that is funny.
ReplyDeleteThey say the funniest things.
ReplyDeleteI love him!!!
ReplyDeleteNice! I love the stuff that kids come up with. As I write this there is a whore on my floor. On my feet to be exact. Our black lab, Penny!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. Kids really do see the darndest thing.
ReplyDeleteOut of the mouths of babes! Love it when kids make up things like that.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! It should be interesting if he goes to school and tells the teacher he has a whore at home. Baahhhahaha
ReplyDeleteThat is great! And I thought that this was going to be a post about a halloween costume you might be wearing tomorrow. HA!
ReplyDeleteHAHHA Oh my! I am so going to use that!
ReplyDeleteI mean, I already call my dog a slut (she likes to sleep on her back with her legs totally spread open).
