Last Sunday, at the end of church Joel and I were watching the twins, Reid & Gage (our nephews). Their parents had to meet with one of our bishopric members so we were put in charge of keeping tabs on them. While we were talking to my "boyfriend", Aric, and Brad (my bro-in-law, Paul's buds) and the twins decided to start punch "fighting" with Aric and Brad. Cute? Yes!
Well, of course "Silly Brittany" {what Gage calls me} had to join in on the fun. So I said to Reid, "I'm gunna kick your bum bum!" I follow with a low (due to wearing a skirt) & soft kick to Reid's behind. This apparently is an invitation for Reid to transfer is fighting efforts towards me.
And now the FUNNY part of the story comes in!
"Haha! No, I'm gunna kick you in the bum bum!!!" - Reid
"I don't think so..." -me
"Fine... then, I'm gunna PUNCH YOU IN THE WEE-WEE!!!" -Reid
{Reid then precedes to punch me in the "wee-wee", catching me off guard!}
hahaha! I know...it's hard not to laugh, but of course I had to take the opportunity to "educate" young Reid about NOT PUNCHING PEOPLE (especially GIRLS) in the wee-wee... no matter how old they are!
Oh, poor little guy! He looked like a puppy w/ his tail between his legs. I didn't speak harshly towards him but I did have to give my "mean/serious" face so that he knew I was not joking.
I told him I love him and I'm not mad but he needed to understand that it definitely was NOT OKAY to go around PUNCHING people in their WEE-WEES! Private parts are not for punching.
You just don't bring those things up to kids until they happen. I saved Nick & Janine from that little talk to Reid but I'm leaving Gage to them. haha! I just thought it was SOOO FUNNY that out of nowhere he said that.
Where did he get/ learn/ think to do that from??? Ah well... it made for a good story!
Goodness... kids really do say the darndest things... especially those twinners!
