This is an oldy, but someone reminded me of it lately and I thought I'd share.
Last summer my oldest daughter attended summer day camp for the first time. One day while driving home after camp we had a very disturbing conversation:
Me: What did you do at camp today?
Her: I got see a really big cock!
Me: Pardon?
Her: There was a man with a big cock.
Me: What do you mean?
Her: You know, Mom! A big cock. It was really cool.
At this point I was so confused that I decided to leave the topic and ask again later. Once we were at home and I could sit talking to her I asked a few more questions.
Me: So, there was a special guest at camp today?
Her: Yeah, I already told you that he had a cock.
Me: What did it look like?
Her: It was big and brown.
Me: Did he have anything else?
Her: He had an owl too. He told us that he got them because they hurt their wings in the wild and now he takes care of them.
Me: So he had an owl and hawk? (Hoping I was right!)
Her: (With a frustrated look and voice.) Mom, that's what I said. He brought an owl and a cock!
Thank goodness she can know say hawk! Now if I can only make her realize that the hill isn't STEVE, it is STEEP.
Too funny!
