TMI

Ok, so I realize that this is probably TMI but let's face it....this is life and I am sure many of you have had very interesting forms of communicating in your family. So, here goes.

Right now, my youngest is going through a paranoia stage of throwing up or poohing in his drawers! I really hope this stage passes soon, but for now we just make the best of it. So, I have been checking backsides lately each time he has the thought that it "might" have happened. The other day, I made the comment while checking his back side, "son...you are all clear...you are clean as a whistle".

I didn't even think about it but this phrase must have stuck in his little brain. So, needless to say the question was asked again yesterday and we had this dialog in the kitchen.

Son: (as drawers are down in the middle of the kitchen) Mom, I think I might have....you know....so, will you check my whistle?

Mom: (trying not to lose it on the phraseology).....son....we need to move this show to the bathroom because I don't think that anyone else wants to see your whistle.

Nana: (calling out from the distance)I want to see his whistle!

Son: (calling out from the bathroom) You've already seen my whistle!!

Scores of laughs from the whole house for the rest of the day!

Our family is nuts, but I am CRAZY about them!
