DUMB ASS


Elle:  "Mom!  Pyper said dumb ass

Pyper:  "I'm trying to explain why I said dumb ass."

Elle:  "She just said dumb ass again!"

Pyper:  "I know I said dumb ass- would you just listen?!"

Elle:  "We are not allowed to say dumb ass Pyper!"

Me:   "STOP!!!  Would somebody please tell me what is going on?!

Elle:  "Pyper said..."

Me:  "Yes, Elle.  I heard."

Pyper:  "I'm reading the Book of Mormon.  It says dumb ass right here... see.  I'm not trying to be bad- you said if it says it in the scriptures, I can say it.

Me:  "Yes Pyper.  When your reading it's okay to say what is written.  Elle- a long, long, time ago when the scriptures were written, they used to call a donkey an ass.  So when they say dumb ass- they are talking about an animal that is not very smart.  Let's not say that anymore- because that's not how we talk now."

That's hilarious. It's better than what Kai said to us the other day. "Is shit okay? Can we say shit? Sandlot says shit."

I had a Sunday School teacher about 8 years ago who was, shall we say, "colorful." He taught the young single adults in my wad, and from time to time I heard him use the word "jackass" during his lessons!
