More U.S. Children Being Diagnosed With Youthful Tendency Disorder

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?!

Constipated chicken
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."
Explain kamuka again
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."
Chacka wacka!
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!"
General Tso's Butt
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?"
