Here's another one for you, with a dash of 'cute' thrown in.
I was reading 5LL on the couch when kidlet came up to peer at my book. He's at the age where anything to do with kissing is EWWWWW! Scandalized, he yelled to H in the other room.
Kidlet: Daaa-aad, Mom's reading a Love Manual!!
We learned a long time ago to speak of PG-13 and R-rated movies as 'grown up movies' to differentiate them from kid movies. See, in kindergarten he'd told everyone we had all these 'adult' movies we watched all the time but wouldn't let him see.

The trouble with having an open mind is that people put things in it.

Oh, geez - I just remembered this story and after all the stuff about BOB, I have to tell it.
We don't have network TV, just a DVD player and movies. In about the 2nd week of kindergarten, kidlet toddled up to me while I was making oatmeal for breakfast and asked, very earnestly,
Kidlet: Mom, when I'm 14, can I have a dildo?
Dia: A WHAT??!! (and WTH does being 14 have to do with it?)
Kidlet: A dildo.
Dia: Where did you hear that word??
Kidlet: From the movie.
I'd been gone the night before. H said he and kidlet had watched 'movies'.
Dia: What movie?
Kidlet: The one with the horsie.
H let him watch a movie with a dildo and a HORSIE??!! But there was this teeny, tiny glimmering that I might *not* need to kill my H afterall. I squatted down to look into kidlet's sleepy little face.
Dia: Ok, kiddo, tell me one more time, really clearly. What is it you want when you're 14?
Kidlet (enunciating hard): HAAAA-dildo.
And I really did sit on the floor laughing (and burning the oatmeal).
Dia: Baby, that movie is called "Hidalgo." Say it for me - "Hi-dal-go."
Kidlet: HAAAA - dil-go.
Dia: Good enough. Tell you what, you don't talk about that movie at school and I promise you that when you're 14, you can see Hidalgo.
Kidlet had been watching Pirates of the Caribbean. And one of the previews on that disk is for Hidalgo, which is rated PG-13. Kidlet knows what the ratings mean, so that's why he specified that he had to be 14 before he could have his 'dildo.'

Bought a BOB as an anniversary gift to myself, and it broke about a month later (NOT from overuse, it was defective). I had to mail it back to the manufacturer for a replacement, and forgot to remove the batteries before putting it in the shipping box. I got a call that night from the postal inspector about my buzzing package.
I know this is completely off topic Gardener but have you heard the song Changing Man by Paul Weller ( used to be in the jam , style council )
Is happiness real? Or am I so jaded I can't see or feel - like a man been tainted Numbed by the effect - aware of the muse Too in touch with myself - I light the fuse
I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang- As I light a bitter fuse
Time is on loan - only ours to borrow What I can't be today - I can be tomorrow
And the more I see - the more I know The more I know - the less I understand.
I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang- To light a bitter fuse
It's a bigger part - When our instincts act A shot in the dark - A movement in black
And the more I see - the more I know The more I know - the less I understand.
I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands (I don't have a plan) I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang- To light a bitter fuse
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. unconditional love is awesome!
