a quick real life funny

[hurinhouse]

my 8YO is reading a book series called Ivy & Bean, about two young mischievous girls. as you can imagine, i am finding it very difficult not to refer to the series as Vig/Bean. of course, my self-censorship apparently only works part time and i did mess up today, after which she asked...



"mommy, what's a veeg?"
(oops)
"it's a vegetable."
"what kind?"
"they go well with beans."
"which kind?"
"definitely green beans."
"what do they taste like?"
"i imagine salty."
"salty?"
"and probably more spicy than bean, i mean beans."
"so you've never had them?"
"sadly, no."

hopefully this conversation is forgotten before my husband asks my daughter how her day was.

I think this is how subliminal advertising gets started. :D

ROFLMAO!! So totally can see that. Can't stop laughing so hard. Thanks for making my day. Hell yeah, Veegs do go well with Beans!!!!! Anything more spicy than Bean??? Can't imagine what that could be.

LOL. i love your icon!

i think of sean as more juicy like steak and sweet like honey and smooth like ale. whereas viggo is spicy like salsa and salty like rain.

ok, yeah - no salt in rain, but you get the idea.

i'm not sure we want to share so perhaps the ad should be pulled.

LOL - it can get so complicated, can't it? You did well with improvising!
