O The Joys isn't the only one with a child who says awesomely inappropriate things.
The other night, we went out to dinner, to a Japanese restaurant in town. Whenever we go to a "fancy" restaurant, the girlie orders a Shirley Temple.
We had a chatty, solicitous waitress, who - without being asked - brought a little dish of extra cherries along with the Shirley Temple.
The girlie spent some time dropping the cherries into her drink and trying to fish them out with her chopsticks, until she gave up and asked Daddy to help. Daddy took the chopstick and prepared to spear a cherry, at which point she cried out "Daddy, don't pop my cherry!"
Her mortified parents wanted to slide under the table.
hahahahhahaha. Oh, sorry. Snort.
ReplyDeleteThat girl is a budding comedienne!
ReplyDeleteHA! Classic moment in parenting right there.
ReplyDeletehoohoohoohoo, that's no santa laughing.
ReplyDeleteOh, oh....oh...my goodness!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet, sweet child...from the mouths of babes comes hilarity!
Shade and Sweetwater,
K
This was the funniest thing I've read all day. Thanks for the chuckle. :)
ReplyDeleteOh! Just SO Awesome!
ReplyDeleteWoot!
ReplyDeleteI want to hear how Dad answered!
ReplyDeleteDo we share a daughter? Cause at the Japanese restaurant? My daughter said the same thing a few years ago. Mortified. So very mortified. Everyone stopped to look.
ReplyDeleteYou really do have to love the stuff they come up with, huh?
Wow! That's about as good as verbal blunders in the jr set get.
ReplyDeleteYeah, doesn't she have a brother or first cousin who can pop her cherry???
ReplyDeleteAnd the waitstaff promptly hit the silent alarm straight to the child protective services? Yikes. That is alternately hilarious and horrifying.
ReplyDeleteFlashing back to the time when my daughter (8ish at the time) was swimming in a lake and yelled "Look at me--I'm doing it doggy-style!"
ReplyDeleteI know the mortification of which you speak.
Bwahahah! That is classic.
ReplyDeletenow that is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteBAHAAAA!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why we lock the child in the basement.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA!!
ReplyDeletehe he he he he
ReplyDeletemy hubby and I had a similar moment in a restaurant, just between us
trying not to snort over here...
ReplyDeleteI would have slid under the table for sure.
CRINGE!
ReplyDeleteI posted one of our recent bon mots today.
hilarious! and then the question is whether or not to caution her about saying that again. I vote not. Because once when I was little my brother and I were tormenting each other, as usual, and we turned to threats of eating eachother. I can't remember the exact phrasing, but my mother freaked. I had to know why. And I found out from someone else. Horror.
ReplyDeleteomg you totally just made me laugh really loudly at work!
ReplyDeleteOh that IS the best. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOMG LMAO - You poor thing. I'm with Cold Spaghetti & wanting to know what Dad said.
ReplyDeleteoh how embarrassing! Maybe no one heard her.
ReplyDeleteHA!!! I so hope someone heard her!
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!
ReplyDeleteMagpie, this is brilliant. I love it.
