I took Linus to lunch at a local restaurant that I love in the town where my parents live. It was just the two of us. Here's our conversation:
Linus: Mommy, look at his pecker.
Me: Linus, let's play I spy. I spy with my little eye something green.
Linus: Is it the leaf, Mommy? Look, he has a pecker too!
Me: Ok, Linus, your turn. What do you spy?
Linus: I spy something blue. (then a guy walks by and she looks in his direction). Look Mommy he has a big pecker!
Me: (thinking...blue...blue...find something BLUE!)
Linus looks in another direction and says, "and he has a small pecker"
Me: Um, blue! Uh, could it be that chair?
Linus: No
Me: (BLUE, BLUE, find something blue!), could it be that picture?
Linus: No, look mommy, his pecker is hard and looks old!
Me: Linus, shhh, we'll talk about that later!
Linus: Why Mommy, don't you see his pecker?
Me: Linus, ssshhhhh!
Linus: Look, Mommy, his pecker is different colors! And llllooooooonnnnnggggg! Then she points up near the ceiling.
I looked up and there was a parrot! The restaurant has fake trees with lots of parrots! She was talking about the parrot's beak!
Whoosh, big sigh of relief! Still embarrassed, but sooo glad my 4 year old princess doesn't know that kind of pecker!

I clicked on you over at "Overflowing Brain" and am so glad I did. This story is just the best; can't even imagine the whirling your brain was doing! Ahhh, yes, parrots--of course, parrots! We, as adults, are so jaded aren't we? HAHAHA!
