Have you ever been sitting at Moe's, innocently eating your taco salad, pretending to listen to a 4-year-old trying to spell (Mama, how do you spell Exit? What does P-S-A spell? How do you spell Taco?) when all of a sudden, it happens.Her, matter of fact-like: Mama, I'm spelling s-e-x. That spells sex.
Me, horrified: Say what, Small Fry? Are you trying to spell six, like the number? Please God, let her be spelling six like the number.
Her: No, sex like sexy. Oh no.
Me: What is sexy, Small Fry? What does that mean?
Her: You knnnnnoooowwww, like when you're all pretty with red lips and you're sparkly and you're wearing fancy clothes and like that. Waves hand vaguely in front of her face.
Me: Uhhhhhhhhhh.
Me, later: And where did you hear about sexy, honey?
Her: Duh, mom. The cheer? Boys are the strongest? Girls are the sexiest?
Me: WHAT?
Me, later, lame-like: Yeah, of course you know girls can be the strongest too.
Her: Yeah, of course I know that mama.
Annnnddddd I have nothing more to say. Continue eating taco salad and mourn the loss of innocence.
