A Good Boy

Scene: Checking out at the Ocean State Job Lot (don't judge, it's my guilty pleasure.) Theo helping me put items onto the counter.

Cashier to Theo: "You are a great helper. What a good little boy you are."
Theo: "I a good boy. I no even say PENIS today. That's a pottty word. A private talk word."
Cashier: "Um, oh, ok. Ya, ya that's good."

Me, choking on my laughter, trying to get the stupid credit card swiper to work, so we can get the hell out of there. We roll out but before we get out of earshot. "Mama, that girl say I a good boy."

The cashier was a man. A long haired man but a man nonetheless.

My Theo, you are a funny little  boy. And way to lay off the potty talk.
