After dinner this evening:
Gal Smiley: I have a little owie on my foot.
Sir Monkeypants: Maybe we will have to amputate.
Captain Jelly Belly: What’s amp-you-tate?
Sir Monkeypants: It’s when you go to the hospital and they cut off your arm or your leg.
At bedtime chat time:
Captain Jelly Belly: Why doesn’t Big Wheel [his stuffed monkey] have a penis?
Me: Um…I don’t know.
Captain: I know! Maybe they had to amp-you-tate!
OUCH.
Ha ha – Can you imagine the outrage from certain quarters if all dolls and stuffed toys were anatomically correct all of a sudden?
LOL
Kids are so logical! It’s dangerous, really.
