While driving in the car
"Mom, what is buttocks... is it when your butt talks?" Lucy
"buttocks is the name for cheeks on your bum" Me
"Well my butt CAN talk" Lucy
"Please don't say butt, say bum" Me
"My bum talks" Lucy
"We have all heard your bum talk, we don't need an example." Me
"Butt talks, butts talk, talking butts" Ruby
"Ok, enough potty talk" Me
"We are not potty talking, we are butt talking" Ruby
10 min later... after going through a drive through
"I don't like drinking soda, it always makes me feel like burping" Me"Well if you are going to burp, you should make it educational for your children and burp the alphabet" Haley
"I don't do things like that" Me
"I know, but it would be so cool if you did." Haley

It's 11pm, i'm the only one in the house who is awake, and I'm laughing so hard I'm crying about that whole butt-talks convo. I'm trying to decide if it's worth waking up D to read it to him (but I think he'd appreciate it more in the morning). Miss you guys and all the craziness. Have fun on your trip!!
Validating and hilarious! There's a lot of burping going on in my house. Needless to say, I'm not a big fan...but I'm sure my parents would say they weren't either. :-)
I seem to remember a contest when I was a child where we would burp as many letters of the alphabet as we could on one burp. It was a dinner time activity. I am happy to see that you seem to be encouraging educational burping. What better time to do it than at the dinner table. As I remember, Wayne always seemed to eek out a few more letters than the rest of us.
Awesome! Your kids have the best comments!
