Mini Diapers

So, Boyd, Spencer, Logan and I were at Wallgreens picking up some Alka Seltzer Cold & Cough. It's our drug of choice for the long, cold, winter months. We're at the checkout stand when Spencer, in his Spencer way, says "COOL! MINI DIAPERS!".
I looked over to see what he was talking about, and saw that he was holding a package of Panty Liners.

I started to laugh, holding it in, trying not bring further attention to him. Because I didn't respond, he said again "COOL! MINI DIAPERS!". Both Boyd and I look at each other and we are laughing so hard, but again, trying to keep it under control,when AGAIN, Spencer says "LOOK! MINI DIAPERS - FOR LADIES!?". At that point, everyone around had heard him and I am doubled over trying not to scream out in laughter. The cashier heard it all and finally said "It's okay, I have three boys". Enough said.
Boyd and I ended up walking out laughing so hard, but never told him what they actually were. I think when he realized they were for "ladies" and saw that we were laughing, he knew he touched something he probably wanted to stay away from.

Oh Man! Poor Spencer! That is so funny! Speaking of mini-diapers, it's pretty g-nasty when a stupid dog gets into natalie's bathroom trash during a certain time. Guess what I was cleaning up this morning? I will never let that dog lick my girls again. But I won't tell Neal. I'll just laugh when the dog licks him.

Classic!

It reminds me of a funny story. To protect the not-so-innocent, I won't tell you who it happened to, but rest assured, it's 100% true. When an unnamed male family member was twelve, he got a rash from bug bites. He examined it and then announced that he thought he had a yeast infection and needed some Gynalotramin (don't you love what kids pick up from commercials?). Anyway, after some explaining, he felt a teensy bit embarrassed.

You've got to sort of feel bad for the boys--there's a lot of girl "stuff" out there to confuse them!

Poor naive Spencer! I guess that's what happens in a house full of boys. Ginny thinks that tampons are for bloody noses, she asked if you stick them up your nose.
That is too funny. Also, remind me not to kiss Nat or her girls again.

oh.my.hell (am I allowed to say that-it's funny, so I think it's ok)! That is so fuh-reaking hilarious! I LOVE IT!

I ALSO just love, love, LOVE your boys! I love the picture of Bogey Bear, his faux hawk then and now, and how it's evolved. He looks like a little mexican baby. I can't believe how dark your boys are and then how blonde they ended up.

TONS OF LOVE TO you all-too funny for words.
