What the hell does that even mean? Well, if you are a Captain Underpants aficionado, you would know that the letters can be jumbled into a very interesting saying that seems to be prevalent around my house: Come See My Hairy Armpits! (It really doesn’t but it was funny just checking). If you have not seen the movie, its quite alright as I did not up until recently when it showed up in Netflix. The interesting part is this saying (actually a derivative) of it showed up many months before I saw the movie and did not know that is were it came from.
One day I am sitting in the kitchen getting ready for dinner, Bella charges in, lifts her arms up and says, “Daddy, Smell my Hairy Armpits!.” I would have loved to have a camera pointed at my face as these words came out of her mouth. I’m sure it would have been priceless. After the shock set in, I did what every other parent probably would have done…punished her! KIDDING. I laughed my ass off. I’m sure it probably would have been better to probably stop it from continuing but damn it that was pretty funny. She quickly caught on that I thought it was funny and now regularly goes through the house and tells EVERYONE to smell her hairy armpits.
Bella is my little court jester. She loves to say the most bizarre thing to me and Mary. I’m not sure where she picks half the stuff up. Half the time I am convinced she has no clue about what she is talking about but maybe her pre school education is paying off! I’m looking forward to what next year brings.
This evening, I was putting them to bed. As always we have a bedtime ritual to make the process smoother for everyone. Part of their ritual is that I give them each a hug and kiss and tell them I love them. After that, I will normally rub and scratch their back. I am not sure how that became part of the ritual but now it is a staple and I cannot go downstairs until each get their backs rubbed and scratched. So Mia was first and went off with a hitch…as did Milana’s. My final child was not as easy. I rubbed her back and she immediately told me to “scratch”. I did what I was told. She rolled over and now was facing me. She then says, “Daddy….You just popped a zit on my back!” Thinking that I misunderstood her, I said “What?”. She then repeated it for a second time. I asked her if she even knew what a “zit” was. Her response, “yeah, its a thing on your back”. That pretty much answered my question so I just laughed realizing that she just out foxed me.
Again, I’m not sure where she gets these things from. Maybe she comes in and sees me doing something in the mirror all while verbalizing it…I’m just not sure. Either way, my little Bella Bean makes me giggle regularly with the stuff that comes out of her mouth. I might be laughing now….hopefully it won’t come to bite me in the ass later on.
