so the fish said

It means spoon

I think it is a sign that Chris and I are really maturing as parents that we are very nearly able to avoid laughing when Mia starts demanding that we get her a "poon."

(What? Don't look at me like that. You know I'm only telling you this because it is 2 AM and I'm half sick and can't sleep.)

I probably wouldn't be able to keep a straight face - especially if I hadn't been sleeping!

Oh no no.. Don't avoid or stifle the laughter! Soon you will realize its the only thing that keeps us sane. Or at least questionably sane, because true sanity ran screaming from our household quite some time ago. =P

I would totally laugh. I laughed my ass off at your "fluffer" comment, too. I think this means we might be, you know, warped.

Wait 'til she asks what time it is on the "cock". 'Cause those "Ls" are sooooo elusive.

My Mom loves to tell a story about when I was little - I loved to read, and my favourite book was "Fox and Socks". My unsuspecting uncle was visiting from far away, and I offered to read him the book, which I knew by heart. Unfortunately, no one mentioned to him beforehand that my pronunciation was a bit sketchy. He was quite shocked to have a 3-year-old tell him all about "F*cks and S*cks"!!!!

My nephew had trouble asking to watch The Fox and The Hound. It's the little funnies that make the day.

Um, I'd have been laughing. Of course, I showed my immaturity a few years ago at work when I received a work related email from someone named "Candy Poon" and could NOT. STOP. LAUGHING. Sure didn't want to explain it either.

When my daughter calls a guitar, a dick-tar...it takes everything in me to keep my cool and not but up laughing.

Kids come in handy like that. With all their cute little words that just crack you up. It does suck that you do have to be a little mature at times, but she's still too young to know what you're laughing at, so laugh away.

That's funny! I would not be able to contain my laughter either! he he he

Posted by Mary | November 12, 2007 8:00 AM

I would have to laugh. I hope you're feeling better.

Posted by Maria | November 12, 2007 8:09 AM

I would be more concerned for those people who don't have to stifle a laugh!

And as Mia's fluffer, it is your responsibility to get her poon.

i'll see your "poon" and raise you a "f..." well, it's just that awesome way that isabella says fork! hahahah!

Oh lord, that is hilarious. That reminds me about my great nephew (my niece is 2 years younger than me, so I swear I'm not some ancient woman!) going to get his shots after he'd had an antibiotics shot after he got pneumonia. He was so traumatized from the antibiotics that he was raising so much hell during his regular shots that he upset his baby brother. In the car, my niece told him he had been bad and was punishing him by taking away his magnet toys which led him to mutter under his breath "God damn shots." It was all my niece could do to keep her car on the road!

I hope you are feeling better Mama Fluffer, your child needs poon!
