On B_uttholes and Button Holes

Our conversation over lunch yesterday...

Carson: Oh no! Daddy shirt, hole!

Tate: It's okay, it's just a button hole.

Carson: Daddy's b_utthole? I see Daddy b_utthole!

Tate: [Laughing] Yes, it's daddy's button hole.

Carson: [Looking down at his shirt, smiling gleefully] My b_utthole! My b_utthole! Look my b_utthole!

Tate: [Trying to get him to say button hole] Button hole, Carson, button hole.

Carson: B_UTThole!!! B_UTThole!!! My B_UTThole!!!, Daddy's B_UTThole!!! Mommy? See my B_UTThole?

Me: [Thinking to myself, Oh yes, Carson, I see your b_utthole every, single day.]

A proud, proud day, indeed, at Casa de Playgroupie. I don't know about you, but I love talking about b_uttholes at lunch!

35 People are even more brilliant:

Reminds me of when I was teaching my oldest the different betweens ships and... something that isn't a "ship". Too funny girl!

Jamie said...

I worked with someone who was helping daughter with bathing, she was told to spread her cheeks... and she did... her face cheeks ...

Being the maid to the butthole kinda grounds you, doesn't it?

Very cute. Potty talk is very common in my house also.

Marie Green said...

Butthole! So great.

This is why we blog, right? So we remember these kinds of things?

Mommy Daisy said...

Ha ha ha...HA! That is so funny! Gotta love the things kids say.

Now you have "b_utthole" and I still have "c_unty". Who wins?

Southern (in)Sanity said...

Ha!!!!!!!!!

That is hilarious.

Typical. So typical. Men love their butts, and that's the truth.
His future wife will get a kick out of this someday!

Stacey said...

Hmmm is that better or worse than talking about boogers over lunch (a la casa de Worker Mommy).

It's a toss up, huh ?

I'm pretty sure I'll never look at a button hole the same.

A. Nonny Mouse said...

Ah yes, such a proud day. Much like the day when my darling daughter looked into the toilet as I got up and said "Mommy, pboop. Bye bye Mommy pboop." Never prouder, lemme tell you, never prouder.

Victoria said...

Yes, a lunch is not complete with a talk about b_uttholes.

Anna said...

At our house it was penises at breakfast, go figure.

Rachel said...

You know there will come a time in our children's lives when they will have to take us, with our sagging drooling selves, out to lunch and then we can dominate the conversation. And then they will pay!

Mamarazzi said...

FANTASTIC!!! really great story!!

Phoenix said...

I love it when they're just learning to really talk. It's so much fun.

Back when my niece was two, she kept asking for the fuck. Where my fuck, where it is? Turns out she meant her luck, as in her lucky dog. No idea where these things from.

ps. You though I was going to say duck, didn't you? I did too...for the 25 times I asked her about a duck until she finally found what she really wanted.

Thank you for sharing, I had a good morning chuckle.

You know I love that!

Alex Elliot said...

That is so funny! About a year ago, my older son became intrigued with the fact that everyone has anuses. Randomly in grocery stores, Friendly's you name, he would start naming everyone he knew who had one.

Serina Hope said...

I tell Punkin he has a little button nose.

He tells me I have a butt nose, too.

I told him his daddy may be a butt head, but that we weren't butt noses.

He didn't laugh.

OH TEHEHE!

Next time I see y'all, I'll be sure to wear a button up shirt!

Laura McIntyre said...

I was giggling just at the title, the rest of the post had me in fits. Carson really is a doll (going to lol some more)

Nell said...

Hahaha! I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face, and of course, once they know they've said something funny, it's all over.

oh that's so funny! and that conversation could have so easily have happened here...Zander has similarly turned innocuous words into something more crass...and definitely more funny!
