Of Best Buy and boobie hair
As the hubby is on a 9-day biz trip, (KILL ME NOW!) the boy and I went out last night for a fine dining experience (at Long John Silvers). Afterwards we took a short walk to Best Buy.
When it comes to television entertainment, the hubby and I like to expose our boy to the pop culture “classics”. While he’s loving Looney Tunes, Speed Racer, and The Muppets, he’s become a rabid fan of Little Rascals shorts too. (Yeah, that’s kicking it old school, huh?)
Which is why we were in Best Buy. I figured if anyone would have the most recent Little Rascals movie, (from 1990-something…) it would be them. And yes, we weren’t disappointed.
So in line at the checkout, Seth sees “The Geek Squad” center.
Seth: “Mooommmm. What does g-e-e-k say?”
Me: “It says, ‘Geek’.”
Seth: (looks confused) “What’s a geek.”
Me: “It is someone who’s very smart and good with computers but dresses badly.”
Seth: (thinks for a moment and smiles) “Like daddy?”
Me: (look at the employee ringing up our stuff who’s smirking) “Yeah. Like daddy.”
Seth: “Daddy has boobie hair.”
Me: (Get an uneasy feeling cause I don’t know where this is going…)”Uh, yeah.”
Seth: “Do YOU have boobie hair?”
Me: “Nope.”
Seth: (Sly smile crossing his face.) “Yyyyessss you do!”
Me: (Oh dear God!) “No I don’t Seth.”
Seth: “Uh huh. Yes you do.”
Me: “I don’t have a hairy chest. If I did, I would know.”
Seth: “Yes you DO!”
Me: (Can’t even look at the pre-pubescent employee who by this time has FINALLY finished the transaction.) Sigh… Because now this kid is wondering if I really DO have booby hair.
For the record? I don’t have a hairy chest! Really.
I can’t wait until he’s in that “I’m humiliated just standing next to you, mom” phase. If there’s one life lesson he’ll be learning then, its this one: Payback’s a bitch, son!

Thanks for the laugh, Lisa. How mortifying! Oh, the things kids say! My nephew once announced at Walmart that “Daddy has a small pee-pee after he gets out of the pool.” Why that was an appropriate comment to a kid, I have no clue.
You could turn it into a logic game. Yes, your Daddy knows a lot about computer, he dresses badly, and he has boobie hair. That doesn’t, however, mean that all geeks have boobie hair. (Yes it does. I’ve met a lot of geeks).

oh nooooo that did NOT happen. I heart Seth. And you and your hairy boobies. Be proud! Be hairy!

LMAO OMG, how funny!
It took me a while to figure out what Boobie hair even meant! LOL

You kill me! I have an a friend whose son says cheeky stuff like that in public for the sole purpose of embarrassing her. While in a checkout line once he asked her very loudly, “Remember when you and Dad were giggling and making all kinds of noise in the shower this morning?” Gotta love ‘em!

The reason we blog: to remember every instance that can be used against our angst filled teens!

Oh my kids gotta love em huh. That is the joys of being a parent though because yes “payback is a bitch” LOL.

Oh that is too funny! I used to tease my sister about having a hairy back and it got to be the running joke in the family.
You cracked me up.

two months ago my daughter told everyone in her school that I have a crush on the gym teacher “Mr. B”. He’s much younger than I am and now every time he sees me he smiles (or laughs hysterically, I can’t tell which). I can no longer look him in the eye!

LMAO! In the near future….
“So Seth, this small jock strap is gonna fit you ok, right?”
Andrea on 15 Jan 2007 at 7:24 pm #
Oh and the payback for this one will be ingenius, I can already tell.
Mikala on 15 Jan 2007 at 8:43 pm #
Oh my…that’s rough.
Sandra on 15 Jan 2007 at 9:58 pm #
Oh. My. God. Dear sweet seth and boobie hair. Sigh. My son just tells everyone how old I am and how much I weight!
But pay back sure is a bitch.

Wow! Holy mortification! You just made me wince and laugh at the same time. Too damn funny.

When my daughter was three and standing in a restroom stall with me, she caught a glimpse of pubic hair and started shouting, “Mommy! You’ve got hair on your butt.”
I’ll tell you one thing - it’s a great way to silence an entire restroom.

How do kids become so freaking funny? I might need one someday for entertainment purposes.
Slackermommy on 16 Jan 2007 at 1:44 am #
OMG! Too funny! I can’t help imagining you at Long John’s and walking to Best Buy since I go to both often. We must hook up soon!

Reba on 16 Jan 2007 at 3:24 pm #
I hate those moments. I do always laugh later about them though.

OMG. i would have been beet red. how embarrassing. were you laughing? i would have been blushing and laughing my ass off at the same time.
maybe this is why kids often get candy in the check-out lines. keeps their mouth busy.
Christie on 30 Jan 2007 at 3:48 am #
