Her Royal Cuteness and I went on another joyous shopping adventure at a "teen type" store for small things for the house. We are in the store and I hear it, "Mom, what is THAT?!?"
I look and see that she is pointing at this:
I explain, "Sweetie, that's a Bull. It is for the Zodiac sign Taurus. See it says so right here on the package."
Oh, I am such a great Mom, giving important lessons here in the store. Right? HRC and I are both Gemini and I figured that she didn't know about Taurus.
Dumb me.
HRC goes on, "No, Mom. What is THAT?!?" Now she is pointing at what appears to be a fifth leg on this particular bull.
We bust out laughing at the thought of some poor kid buying this to hang in their room, only to discover that the bull was already well hung.
Those are some horns too. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! That's a good one. I mean the story, not necessarily the "one" thing hanging there...uhm...shouldn't be ashamed to use the proper terminology...
ReplyDelete(whispers) penis.
Yikes!
My eyes! My eyes!
That is very funny. Your daugher's quite observant.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow. I'm glad to do the same.
Cheers,
Robyn
Ha ha. From the mouths of babes.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young - 500 million years ago - I asked my mother why Barbie's Ken didn't have a willie.
As a family we chose not to discuss the meaning of life, just plastic dolls non existant genitals. Clearly a highly intellectual family.
Well that's just plain... disturbing, that's what it is.
ReplyDeleteC : I thought the same thing - he is one horny bull!
ReplyDeleteQuirks : Imagine if they gave him balls, too!
Robyn : My daughter is a mystery to me...
Alison : When I grew up there was no mention of S.E.X. especially not at the dinner table like we do regularly!
feefioto : Thanks for visiting - I guess you won't be rushing to the store for one of these?!?
Haha!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a Gemini.
How old is Cuteness? That could've been a difficult conversation to have in the mall. Or a fun one. It kinda depends on what kind of mom you are.
ReplyDeleteWell a steer would make for a pretty wimpy zodiac sign!
ReplyDeleteWhisper - We Gemini are a crazy bunch! I was afraid to look and see what they had as the symbol for Gemini after seeing Taurus!
ReplyDeleteMichael - She is 15 going on 25 and has an extremely wicked and sarcastic sense of humor. This was a photo that she wanted me to take to put on the blogosphere.
Tatty - True - I hadn't thought about the implied power behind a penis.
You gotta be quick in these situations. You couldn've sold her anything if you kept a straight face.
ReplyDelete"It's his tail. The thing on top is his CB antenna"
"It's his extra leg. It means he's Canadian."
"It's his fanny pack, he keeps his wallet and cell phone there."
-if you can pull off a smirkless delivery you just might get away with it.
You are hilarious and man, that bull's girlfriend has it made!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very observant daughter.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting a well-hung bull that can be hung on the wall. Just hope it doesn't come with some cow dung.
notgod - This child is quicker on her feet than anyone I know and can tell YOU anything with a completely straight face. I have met my match!
ReplyDeleteThat one girl - Thanks! You think?!?
Greg - I should go back and buy it for her!
