nice retort, toots

I have a Thanksgiving post to get to at some point here (lest ye think we don't celebrate Thanksgiving...which we do), but this can't wait...

Overboard, Kenny and I were downstairs playing, when I grabbed two of Kenny's little people and held them up for Overboard. In an effort to show her what I'd been teaching Kenny as of late, I held up the farmer and asked, "What does the farmer say?"

Overboard shot me a quizzical look and said, "E-I-E-I-O."

Then I held up Jorge Mendoza and asked, "Now what does the construction worker say?"

Overboard scrunched up her face in confusion and then let loose with an energetic wolf whistle.

After I stopped crying from laughing so hard, I corrected her.

"Actually, he says, 'On time and under budget!' But that could work too...if he was a sexist pig."

In a perfect comedy world, Kenny would have looked up at that moment and said, "Oink, oink," but he blissfully continued to play with his toys, oblivious to his mother's humorous take on stereotyped job site behavior.
