Some whooping

Yesterday, my brother, my nephew and I went to Target. Emme had stayed home from school because she said she was tired and didn't feel well. Olivia was with us, of course. As we meandered up and down the aisles, my brother asked Emme is she wanted a whooping and then added the comment - "as if you would know what that is.." - and Emme said emphatically -

"I DO know what a whooping is! I had one once but I didn't like it."

"Oh, you didn't...why not?", asked my brother.

"Because it didn't taste very good", said my all sincere little bug.

Out of the mouths of babes. That cracked us up! It was perfect.

Besides, we call it a spanking.

Not that she would know what that is either and I doubt she ever will .....
