We were at T's for tea (t?) on Sunday, when she leaned over to me and simply said, "If you would prefer, we have breast milk".
It was one of those moments when several thoughts whip in and out of the brain.
Hers was grasping the horror of the words that had come rolling out of her mouth even though she knew they weren't the right ones.
Mine was wondering what caused the Freudian slip-- are my breasts looking engorged? That would be sad since I haven't breast fed anyone in over a year. Next thought was the season's finale of Grey's Anatomy--which disturbed me--Oh my, does T fancy me, was she looking at my breasts?!
These thoughts were instantaneously brushed aside and the two of us laughed so hard that J2 was pointing at her and saying, "She's going to wet herself!".
I had on my plate, a roasted chicken leg. There was a plate of chicken breast meat on another plate in the middle of the table. She meant breast meat, but it was too late. A forever giggle was planted.
Monday night, the children and I were eating garlic chicken and potatoes when A1 perks up, "Remember when Miss T said 'Do you want breast meat?' hahahaha (insert child's attempt to laugh for real)".
J2 added, "Breast meat! She was laughing so hard. hahahaha".
Innocence.

That is hysterical! Where does she get her breast milk? :)
ReplyDeleteLOL that is an adorable story.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! I am just cracking up, I bet the kids were dying.
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteThese are the moments that make life perfect. My favorite part is always that momentary, but seemingly eternal pause, before it all comes crashing down.
ReplyDeleteOnce I affectionately, and without thinking, swatted a woman, not my wife, on the rear end. It was my mother.
This is funny. Makes me think of tonight's open house too. We were at an open directed reading in the library, a whole bunch of families gathered. IT was a Noah's ark book and one boy kept blurting out how the ram's horns were going to get the elephant's butt, and the chimps were going to fall on their butts. Butts, butts, butts. It was so hilarious. Not really, but he really thought so.
ReplyDeleteBREAST! tehehe
Oh, that one is hilarious! It's a good thing I don't read your blog late at night. I'd wake up my whole family with my laughing. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was funny. I have to tell you, your first paragraph for some reason reminded my of a news story I heard today--they were talking about how PETA wants the ice cream companies to stop using cows milk for ice cream. And what do they think should be used?--breast milk.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Somehow I could see myself slipping with that one since I do still breastfeed my baby and would have that so close to the tip of my tongue.
ReplyDeleteAw..what a great moment. You will be remembering that one for a long time. So funny! :D
ReplyDeleteA fun story to last a lifetime. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI am snorting and wiping my tears - too funny!
