Nip it...nip it good

Scene: Wal-Mart Check out line.
Characters: Husband, B.B., Bitsy, Me, Cashier

As I hold Bitsy in one arm and load groceries on to the belt, Cashier scans and bags groceries, Husband loads bagged groceries into a second cart, and B.B. noses around in between the carts and in the shelf full of impulse buys.

Husband: (Stage whisper) B.B. quit that! Get your hand out of your pants. FarmWife, help him.
Me: (pointing at Bitsy) Can't. Baby.
Husband: Come here, B.B. Let me fix your pants.
B.B.: (NOT Stage whisper) MY PENIS IS BIG, DAD! I HAVA PEE!!
Me: Oy.

It wasn't until we got home that I discovered B.B. had whipped it out in the check out line. Yeah, we really need to nip this in the bud.

Ahhh, the joys of parenting. Just know that if I had been behind you in the line, I would have burst into hysterical laughter! (Hidden from B.B., of course, so as not to encourage). So even though ya'll were mortified, I think most would have thought it was just adorable!

At least he can say penis without blushing before he's 20.

Geez.....I would have paid money to be with you then.

My Boy went around the pool this summer and told everyone he had a "boner." I feel your pain! ;-)

Been there! At least he didn't pee all over the floor in the check-out line like Prophet did at the same age. Thanks for the laugh! I read it to Smart Guy and could hardly read for laughing!!!
