We got a really nice snow on Christmas night and the next day. Ended up with 8-10 inches. That's pretty unusual around here.....and this area hadn't had snow on Christmas since 1948!
Today it was finally warm enough for the snow to pack well and Corban (7), Marissa (5) and I were making a little snow family in the front yard.
I was working on the snow mama's face when the following conversation occurred.
Corban: "Mom, can you make two snowballs?"
Me: "No, I'm busy right now."
A minute passes. Corban is standing near me, doing nothing.
Corban: "Mom, can you make two snowballs?"
Me: "Why? You can make snowballs just fine."
Corban: "To put right here and here. (he points to two places on the upper chest of the snowwoman. Bosom area. You get the idea.) Last year when we made the snow family we did that."
Me: Stunned silence. I had not participated in the building of the snow family last year and was unaware of such doings.
I thought for a moment, then made two snowballs and placed them in the proper places on the snow mama's chest and started trying to make it look discreet.
Marissa: "What are those?"
Corban: "You know......those things on women that grow really large and are all swollen-looking."
(Ahem. Apparently he's been looking at other women, because the description "really large" wouldn't be used by anyone in reference to me. Except for possibly the first 2 weeks after having a baby. TMI, I know. Sorry.)
Marissa: "You mean those things with n*pples on them that babies drink milk out of?"
Corban: "Yeah, those".
I managed to conceal my laughing.....just barely.
This was taken early Sunday morning.....it continued to snow all day and into Monday....amazing!
