I was thinking of creating a new category called “Hey, Momma! I’m still alive!” for my sister Tracy who is letting me borrow her son for the summer. It’s something I have always done as an educator who gets a substantial amount of time off in the summer and for the last few years as the older nieces and nephews have gotten summer jobs and been too busy I’ve had a bit of a break. The other reason is because I had been busy with graduate school as well so the hiatus was necessary all around.
Kamaal is taking karate while he’s here and can’t wait to get his hands on all the weapons that he sees. Note: that takes a few years, dude, and there’s no way I’m letting you have a big long weapon stick until you learn how to properly use it so you can practice on me and knock me out.
Of all the experiences I told him we’d be having while he’s here I mentioned that we certainly have a lot more agricultural adventures in my neck of the woods and that we should go to see a working farm where he could possibly even milk a cow and WOULDN’T THAT BE FUN?
“I’m not putting MY hands on a cow’s milk-giving places!”
Anatomy lessons are now on the agenda at Aunt Mocha’s house this summer.

What a hoot! Milk-giving places! That’s a first. Usually boys that age are all about saying the word boob.

Reminds me of the movie “Witness”.
‘Never had your hand on a teat before, have ye?’
‘Not this big.’
Long pause.
‘HA HA HA HA!’

Too funny. There’s a quote from “Witness” that always cracks me up, The old Amish farmer asks Harrison Ford’s character, “Haven’t you ever had you hand on a teet before?” to which HF replies, “Not one this big.”
The old farmer pauses, then guffaws.

That’s funny — if you run out of family members, I have some kids you can borrow for the summer now and then…

Teets. I learned that word at age 3 while on a visit to my grandma’s farm
And I will never forget the day Grandma decided it was “Talk like a Southerner Day” (after we had watched Gone With the Wind on TV) and yelled out to my brother and me (while we were learning how to hand milk a cow), “Now, y’all don’t need to po-ull very hard on the cow’s tee-uts, ya hee-ar?” and I peed my pants from laughing like a hyena.
And then I read what Kamaal said and now I can’t stop giggling. How adorable.

I can hear the phrase “damaged for life” coming up in conversation. But in a nice way.

You think that’s funny…give him a pair of sunglasses and tell him to do an Ozzy Osborne impression. Shits and giggles will abound, my dear.
Give him hugs and love and kisses for me. And please make sure he’s always smiling and happy and content. Always. kthxbi!

The Witness reference is LOL funny.
My husband was fascinated with fashioning himself weapons of every kind growing up. I love to see that childlike innocence remains somewhere in the world.
It reminds me of my dear father-in-law who, like a man who grew up in the chasteness of the 50’s still refers to “chicken breast” as “chicken chest” and bashfully turns his head away when his wife discussed her mammogram with me, in his presence.
