Ada learns a new word . . .

This morning I was getting dressed for the day. I had almost finished dressing and was looking for a shirt when in walked Miss Ada.

"Mom . . . can you please call Holly!" Holly is the mother of one of Ada's friends.

"I can Ada. But can you wait just a minute? I am getting dressed."

Ada then walked right up to me and said, "Ya. You should probably do that! You aren't supposed to show "those."

"Huh?" I said.

I get uncomfortable at the mention of "those" by little people. And then Ada blurts out, "Mom. I like 'those!'"

"You like what Ada?"

Then she pointed to my bra. Oh boy . . .

Then she said . . . "What are those called?"

"Oh . . . you mean my . . . 'chest'?"

Chest is such a safe word. But then suddenly I remembered learning somewhere that you should just be matter of fact with kids and just use the correct names for body parts. So I said, "Actually they are called 'BREASTS."

Lamon hates that word! Personally I like it much better than other slang terms people use.

So then Ada turns to me and says, "Oh! . . .  I like Breasts!"

I then started bursting out laughing and told Ada that someday she would have them too. And she was delighted to hear it! Oh boy . . . what do I have in store with that girl?

Now I am just left to worry about when Ada will blurt out the "B" word in public! Oh boy . . . Lamon is going to love me . . .
