Put in a fresh trash bag please.

I took the kids to get their hair cut tonight. Evan's hair is just strange and I had her cut his bangs shorter than usual. He loves the shaggy hair thing, but he got his daddy's hair and the shaggy thing will never work for him. I haven't had the heart to tell him. Instead I just take him and go against his wishes while he is strapped down to a chair getting his hair did.

On our way home from the hair cuts, my middle child reminded me that I signed the consent form that allows her to be subjected to the PUBERTY VIDEO. She then informed me of the main rule while watching the video: If you laugh during the video, you have to go to the Principal's office and explain, while looking the Principal in the eyes, what you were laughing at while watching the video. This statement from my child, of course, made me snicker. I'm sure it is the affliction of all superior parents, laughing at puberty and the terms that come with it. And thus ensued a conversation that is probably not going to get me the parent of the year award.

Honestly, why do they make the words that refer to a persons private parts so freaking funny sounding? Plus, kids this age, just starting into puberty, they are nervous and rightfully so. All of a sudden their little bodies change and in some ways that are a little bit alarming (armpit hair anyone???). So when you hear said private part references in what you know is supposed to be a serious context, you want to burst out laughing. Or at least I do. How will I face the Principal when myself when I get called into her office because my daughter laughs out loud at the word vagina while watching the film and explains to the principal that she found the word funny and in fact, I also find it amusing...... This will not end well.
