At dinner tonight the boy stated to his sister “You’ve got a big butt.”
Now, he was laughing and basically trying to be funny in that kid way. You know, where butts and burps and farts are funny all the time. (Actually, they’re still funny now, except when used like the boy did here.) The lass laughed it off in short order and started sing-songing it.
No harm, no foul. They’re only 4 and 6 after all.
But I couldn’t help but think if she were about 10 years older, the havoc that would likely ensue from such a statement. It wouldn’t be pretty.
