I took the boys to Lowes this morning to price some kitchen appliances and faucets. We walked through the bathroom section and Bradley spotted something he had never seen before.
“What is that?”, he asked as he pointed.
“That is a bidet”, I replied.
“What’s it for?”, he continued.
“After you go potty, it sprays water up and cleans out your bickies”, I answered.
“I want one! I won’t have to wipe ever again…I always get toilet paper stuck in there”, he said with astonishment.
“MOM!!! I’VE GOT A GREAT IDEA!!!”, he exclaimed! “It can be a drinking fountain, too! In the summer when I’m hot and don’t want to go into the kitchen and get a cup for a drink – I can just go to the drinking fountain!!!”
He then continued, “That is what I want for Christmas this year! How do you say it again?”
“Buh-day”, I replied through my laughter.
“Does Santas elves know how to make bidets?”, he asked with concern.
“They make jock straps…so I’m sure they do, Bradley.”
All the way home he repeated…..”Buh-day”, “Buh-day”, “Buh-day”
“What are you doing?”, I asked.
“Trying to remember what it’s called for when I sit on Santa’s lap. Christmas is far away and I want to remember what it’s called”.
“Yes, Christmas is far away”, I answered.
I would now like to petition each of you for your prayers. We have 288 days, 12 hours and 57 minutes to convince the heavens to erase this from his mind.
Too funny! I might just pray that he does indeed remember the word and how cool it would be to have one just so Santa will look up at you and give you "that look" and then see what you can come up with. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! I can't believe his little mind and the things he asks for. You think Santa was too encouraging for the jock strap just imagine his encouragement for the bidet.
ReplyDeleteI've never used one, but I've heard they are AWESOME! Kevin said we will definitely be getting one in our next house. He would put it on his Christmas list too. He's just so grown-up to see the importance of the buh-day!
