If I Hear The Word Wiener One More Time...

Seeing as I am a mother of two boys (and sometimes three if you include my husband), I hear a lot of things that come as a shock to me. Such as the usage of the words wiener, pee pee, butt, fart and poop.

Now I am all about being truthful and honest with my boys about things that go on with our bodies. But, really? Do I need to remind them everyday that saying the word wiener every chance that they get is just not appropriate?

It doesn't even stop during homework. My oldest son L, has to put words in alphabetical order sometimes during his homework. He and his brother have found it utterly hysterical to say every letter in the alphabet twice during this homework process in order to say a certain body part:

 "AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, FF, GG, HH, II, JJ, KK, LL, MM, NN, OO, PP!"

Yah, may be funny after the first time...but does it need to be said during every alphabetized homework page??

Now, they are not using it in an adult way at all! They just think it is hilarious to draw animals with wieners, draw people with wieners (in which they know they will get in trouble for this and keep it a secret between themselves), wrestle and say "Oh my nuts!" and act as if someone has hit them in the nuts, and they just crack up every single time! And don't even get my started on the farting! To say the least, it is getting a little annoying on my part as a lady (a lady that belched quite well, but that's not the point at hand!).

I want my kids to have fun and be kids and be comfortable talking to me about anything. But I also picture my kids being well behaved little boys for the rest of their lives. I know, I am digging my own ditch with that thought in my mind! And most of all, I really hope they don't go to school or to other peoples houses and talk like that! I could only imagine what other adults might think we talk about at our house after hearing the word wiener like 50 times!!

I explained to my husband that this wiener craze needs to be toned down. He informed me that they are boys! They are going to be obsessed with it at some point in there lives and I have to just get used to it. I about fainted! I can't picture my little Lo-Lo and Bro-Bro obsessed with...oh wait...they are males...well, seeing as I am a female and have always been surrounded by boys my whole life (I have 3 brothers). I should be used to it by now!

But it still never ceases to embarrass and annoy me when I hear the conversation at dinner time steering towards the dreaded wiener talk.

I guess I better get used to it! While I bake my cookies and paint my nails pink, I still know that with all these boys around I have a lifetime of fart jokes, poop stories, and wiener drawings to put up with. Someone save me now!
