You Heard It Here First
While I was cruising the aisles of Trader Joes this afternoon, my four-year-old asked if we could get some Pirate's Booty. I agreed, and plopped a bag into the cart.
She grabbed the bag, and squinted at the print.
"Mommy, how do they make this stuff?"
I did what I always do, and turned her question around. "Oh, well. Hmm. How do YOU think they make it?"
"Welp, I think they grab up a bunch of pirates. And then they cut their booties off. And then they fry 'em up and put 'em in a bag. With delicious salt."
Mmm. Pass me some more of that.

I've wondered the same thing myself! I mean, look at the ingredients' list: where are all those mysterious chemicals they usually put in snacks?

Every child I know is addicted to the boo-tay. Let's just call it what it is--KID CRACK.

the things we miss out on not being able to have dairy! my kids don't have any good stories like that about *veggie* booty. bah, humbug.
on the other hand, after hearing the definition of the word "wuss" my 8 1/2 yr old said, "yeah, that's you, mom!" so I think the smart-aleck in them is just fine.
