Speechless

I am at a friend’s home, watching the super bowl, and the home is full of guests. My son and my friend’s son are having a pajama party, as the adults sit around the T.V. munching on snacks. The kids are running around playing, having a great time until my four-year-old son stops right in front of the snack tray and begins to ‘dig’ into his rear end with his hand; thank goodness the pajama acted as a barrier; still it was quite ‘an embarrassing moment.’ I try to intervene and make light of the whole thing. “Honey,” I said, “do you have an itchy bottom?” Quite calmly he shot back, “No mommy, it’s my butt hole that itches.” I was rendered speechless.
