A Little Misunderstood

Sometimes as an adult I forget that kids don't always know the meanings to commonly used phrases that WEREN'T meant to be taken LITERALLY!!! For example: Cut the cheese, Saw some logs, Don't push my buttons, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse, Slap me silly, or I feel fit as a fiddle. Okay these aren't great, but it was what I came up with last minute!

Anyway, anyone who knows me, knows that I can say some pretty weird phrases. Well earlier today, I went in to help Tayden on the potty (Yes, I still make sure he wipes all the way clean!!!) and I gave him the go-ahead to "flush that puppy down". I use the word "puppy" to refer to many things, in this case it was poop! He started to get panicked and said I don't want to flush him down! Now I am thinking "What in the crap?" Literally, CRAP, flush it down! But I looked down to see him holding a stuffed dog! So I quickly cleared that misunderstanding up! Good thing he doesn't listen to me ALL of the time or we would be having major plumbing issues!
