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!
