CHICKEN BUTT!
Luke almost always orders salads when we go out to dinner. Seriously. Even the last time he went to McDonald’s, he ordered a salad. “Happy Meals are for little kids,” he said, “and the toys are stupid.”
But the boy loves vegetables. This pic is from last night: a grilled chicken salad at a local pub. I wanted to order something really unhealthy for myself, but come on: am I gonna let a 7-year-old show me up?!
| Luke: | [age 7] "You know my friend [C...] at school? Today he made a noise and I said he sounded like a constipated chicken." |
| Me: | "Oh? What's a constipated chicken sound like?" |
| Luke: | "I don't know. Maybe BOK BOK BOK I GOTTA GO! -- or SQUAWK BOK BOK HELP ME SOMEBODY! WHERES THE BOK BOK BOK BATHROOM! Like that." |
| Mom: | "Explain 'kamuka' again." |
| Beth: | [age 3] "Leaves and chicken butts!" |
| Mom: | "Really? Kamuka is leaves and chicken butts?" |
| Beth: | "No, but I don't want to tell you the truth." |
| Beth: | [age 3] "Chacka wacka kacka!" |
| Me: | "What does that mean?" |
| Beth: | "It means KAMUKA!" |
| Me: | "Oh no, not that again. What does kamuka mean?" |
| Beth: | "I don't know!" |
| Me: | "Really? I thought it had something to do with a turtle, or a blind guy, or something." |
| Beth: | "It means CHICKEN FEATHERS!" |
| Me: | "Chicken feathers?!" |
| Beth: | "Just kidding! Nobody knows what kamuka means!" |
| Me: | "Not even you?" |
| Beth: | "It means chacka wacka, chawacka maKACKA!" |
| Luke: | [age 7] "I still think we could get rid of the letter 'c'. We can just have 's' and 'k'." |
| Mom: | "That's fine for the long-s and hard-k sounds, but what about the 'ch' sound? If you take out the 'c' then 'chicken' becomes 'hicken'." |
| Luke: | "Oh wow. And 'choo choo' becomes 'hoo hoo'." |
| Me: | "And 'chair' turns into 'hair'." |
| Luke: | "'Chocolate' becomes 'hocolate'." |
| Me: | "Your cheeks would turn into 'heeks'." |
| Luke: | "And Chinese food would turn into 'hinese' food! Hineys!? That means butts! Hey, anybody want to eat General Tso's butt?" |
