The "Fort"

Well, last week we were going through some new words in our vocabulary, and we came across the word 'fort'. I asked B if he knew what a fort was, as I do with all words I think he doesn't know.

He said, "Mom, you know..."

I just looked at him and said, "Well, I do, but I want you to tell me what you think it is...."

He said (with a grin on his face), "Well, it's a not-nice-word some people use for when you toot."

Well, of course I just about lost it, but composed myself quickly and explained the true meaning of it to him.

So when I told T later that night about it, he just started laughing and said, "So that's why he looked at me like I was crazy when I asked him last winter if he wanted to go play in the fort."
