Wonderbaby’s relationship with her nether regions is evolving. It is, she will have you know, no longer a hole.
It is now a pocket.
A recent scene at bathtime:
Wonderbaby: (pointing to nether regions) Look I got, Mommy! POCKET!
Mommy: Oh, my goodness. How about that?
Wonderbaby: You need a penny, Mommy? (rummages about around the pocket) HERE YOU GO! (triumphantly brandishes imaginary penny.)
Mommy: Thank you very much. I’ll put it in MY pocket (makes dramatic show of putting imaginary penny in PANTS pocket.)
Needless to say, we are now keeping a very close eye on our pocket change. Also, we can no longer say things like ‘pocket change’ or ‘check your pockets for change’ with straight faces.

Well, it is a very inventive way of keeping things safe and hidden. Not many people would think to look there for lost items. Unless, of course, you regularly take Wonderbaby to visit penitentiaries!
Puts the lyric “I’ve got some change in my pocket going jing a ling a ling” a while new twist.
Ha! I love these moments of discovery. Rosebud wanted to talk all about the hair on Mommy’s privates the other day…and all I wanted was a quick shower.
That is hilarious – you couldn’t make up the stuff kids come up with!
Hilarious. At least it was an imaginary penny.
bwhahahahha! thank goodness for imaginary pennies. At least you know who to ask next time you need toll money
Oh my. That’s a new one. I am soooo not looking forward to this phase of my baby’s life. Let know you get her out of this “pocket” phase in case I have to use it later!
Keep the debit card away from that bank, eh?

What a story! These kids, I’ll tell you, they are better than watching cable. Hugs- EE
OK, if I was cooler and could make some drug smuggling reference that included storing a “dime” of something, I would.
Be careful, my neighbor found her daughter sticking cat food up her vajayjay one day!
hilarious
You can’t say that she doesn’t use her imagination.
A friend of mine has a terrifying story involving her daughter and a crayon. TERRIFYING! CRAYON-RELATED!
OOooh, no more offhanded comments about ‘pulled that out of ASS’, for example, which is in high-rotation around here as I concoct conference paper proposals from quite flimsy bases … Note to self: watch out.
Oh. My.
Some of the funniest stuff happens at bath time, doesn’t it?
Thats a new one for me! And now I’ll never be able to say anything about a pocket with a straight face either.
Hilarious! My daughter is in the same phase….I can’t wait until I no longer have to hear about her “gina” and all is fascinating attributes… What fun!
She is also very facinated with “cleaneses” and at a recent swimming lesson with her father yelled out how he has a bigger “cleanes” than her brother. Dh wanted to hide…
The VaJayJay? A source of revenue? Interesting concept.
There is so much funny about that…
A pocket.
I love it.
I wonder if it REALLY could be a pocket?
JJ – if it really could be a pocket, so much shit would lost up there… it’s much too deep to be really functional. I mean, how many lipsticks would just disappear into one’s uterus?
Awesome.
dude, that is too damn funny!
and i just caught up on past posts: i am glad your news on the tests were good ones, and congrats on having a boy!!!!
Running on empty
LOL she has a wonderful imagination.
Oh my!! That is terrific.
Ha! This stage cracks me up completely. I’m laughing now more than I have in years. My girl is now fascinated with my breasts, especially with all the ‘babies drink milk from their mummies and your new brother will too when he comes’ talk. She’s determined to get her mouth on there as much as possible. I’ve let her try, but her ardour is somewhat disconcerting. Can’t wait to see what happens when the milk comes in!
That’s hilarious!
My heart was in my throat until I read the word “imaginary”. Because you just never know.
LMFAO!! i’m sorry, but that is fucking HILARIOUS. LOL..
I’m going to spend the rest of my day thinking of pocket-related expressions. For now, I suggest reading Dr. Seuss – There’s a Wocket in My Pocket!
Well, you know, long ago people used to keep their coins in their mouth, but that would get in the way of the talking…
so laughing out loud as i read this! my little guy is going through a big naked phase, as in “will don’t take your diaper off” “i want to see pee-pee mommy.” today he was showing his pee-pee to his little brother (3 months) and last week i was trying to redress him when he said “something in my bum” you know those craft pom pom balls that you glue to things? yup right there between the cheeks! oh and at our playdate today he informed a dad “everyone has a bum”
good times!
Reminds me of Fidget’s recent post about her kid saying “pocket rocket.” Now there’s another thing you might not want to say casually around Wonderbaby.
Delurking to say hi and Bwahahaha!
Okay — hilarious and TERRIFYING at the same time!!!!!
(Spoken by a mother who years ago had to take her young daughter to the ER because daughter had put a NAIL in her EAR. Picture this discussion: Why honey???? I don’t know mom…. it fit when you turned it the right way…. ::::then I pounded my head on the steering wheel::::::
Please have the “we keep things in clothing pockets only” talk…. I’m living in fear for you….
Where do they come up with these things????
This immediately made me think of the random movie “A Cool, Dry Place.” The little boy says, I bet you can’t do this and pees on a fence or something. The little girl says, oh yeah, I bet you can’t do this…holds up a penny and put it up her dress… HI-larious!
Gives new meaning to that Alanis Morrisette song “I’ve got one hand in my pocket…”
if she starts producing bills, you might want to get that checked….
Ah yes. The personal purse. Nature’s handbag.
I know it well.
Dude, I know I a kid who once pocketed a whole bag of Skittles – I kid you not. Then my sister babysat that kid and she pocketed my sister’s lifesavers. Now that is one sweet pocket.
Oh now I’m dreaming up hot pocket jokes…
Damn. I should have titled this post HOT POCKET.
What a riot!
That’s hysterical.
A Pocket. Is it awful that I immediately think Pita when I hear pocket?
Yowza. What a gem!
Ha! LOVE that!
No WAY! That is really, REALLY HILARIOUS!!!
I am laughing so hard right now, and I really really needed that tonight. Thank you.
PS Can I ask what you teach? If you’d rather not say, that’s fine…I’m just curious.
HAHAHA!thats so funny…a pocket…cool… .but geez stuff would get lost up there.don’t children have marvelous imaginations….LAVANDULA
i hope she doesn’t put anything IN that pocket
Man, I wish my vajayjay made money.
Wait…that sounds bad, doesn’t it?
