don’t repeat that!
last week i was driving my son to a soccer game. my car has leather seats in it, and the night was a typical september evening, so the weather was a bit cool. jenna was sitting in the back seat and she was complaining that she didn’t have a butt warmer the way jake does in the front seats.
jenna: i’m freezing my balls off back here!
me: jenna!
jake: /insane laughter
me: /trying my best NOT to laugh. jake’s giggles are NOT helping.
jenna: well i am! it’s cold! jake has a butt warmer!
jake: jenna, you do NOT have balls.
me: HEY! WE DO NOT SAY THE WORD BALLS! (i’m laughing now, and i’m doing a terrible job holding myself together. it’s getting worse, too…)
jake: yeah, jenna, you should say nuts! balls is…
me: JACOB! quit saying the word “balls!”
jenna: mom, can i say nuts?
me/jake: /laughing.
jake: i say nuts all the time. that’s what they are. but i know why they are called balls. they are tiny little ball things inside that sack.
me: (this conversation is going NOWHERE!!!) I KNOW WHY THEY ARE CALLED BALLS! listen. let’s not say the word balls. it’s just not nice. you can say nuts if you need to, but don’t say it at school or at grandma’s house. or at church.
jake: yeah, jenna, plus you don’t even HAVE balls.
me: STOP IT RIGHT NOW!
jake: it’s so funny, though!
me: yeah, it’s hilarious. now stop. we are done talking about balls.
Stumble it!
this is why I don’t have kids
I’d constantly be saying shit and then telling them not to repeat what I say
my mouth is too filthy to raise nice children
Ha Ha Ha! I can picture it in my mind now!!
LMAO!!!!! oh my hell. . . that is hilarious.. I have tears in my eyes! good luck with that one!!!
hillary - you can still do it - just tell them they have to wait until they are 14 to say bad words.
annika - i failed so bad here. i tried to be stern, but it was too funny.
stace - man. i don’t even say the word balls very often. and never in front of my kids like that.
That is too funny! I love it!
You don’t even have balls…LMAO
that conversation is just… awesome!
i have to laugh for a minute, and then maybe i can type… just the thought of little jenna saying ‘i’m freezing my balls off back here’ is so hysterical i still can’t quit laughing. i can just see you trying not to laugh! “oh balls” was one of our favorite swear words, back in the day…. so i still say balls quite often.
LOL I love those kind of conversations with the kids!
bwahahahaha! BALLS.
I love Jake.
D-lightful! I prefer to call them Testie-Nuts.
chana - i hope your future kids say stuff like that someday!
karen - it was funny as hell. i had tears in my eyes and a major gutache from HOLDING laughter in.
friyet - she might seem little, but she’s almost 28. just ask her. at least she acts like that…
jon - truly horrible. but what do you do? laugh!
OT - yeah, he’s a riot. i wonder if UPS will deliver him to your doorstep?
sra - hmm…testie-nuts is funny. i don’t think i want jake coming up with any more names for his balls, tho.
oh yeah i forgot to mention, too, that jake pointed out to me that there are not one, but two tiny balls in the sack… i think he thought he was telling me something new…
That is so f#@king awesome. I wish that you had that on video tape that would have made america’s funniest home video’s
I am at work and I am laughing and people are looking at me.
OMG……that was so funny!!
All I have to say is SHIT BALLS! LMAO
I am going to teach Jenna to say that she is freezing her tits off instead of her balls. Just thought I would warn you!
thank you for the glimpse in my future … I’m sure it’s destined
kyle - now THAT’S funny. peeps all lookin at you strange b/c you are laughing…
nan - lol shitballs. so funny. i DO say that.
bridge - thanks. i know i can always count on you.
bfw - kids say the darndest things!
hahahahaha! That’s awesome. My step daughter used to say ‘well ain’t that the shits’. It was and still is funny as hell. Gotta love kids.
