My son, who reminds us daily that he is going to be FIVE! YEARS! OLD! in three months told me tonight as he was looking at his plate that he no longer wishes to eat beans because they make his bootie (our term for butt) sore.

I asked him how beans could possibly make his bootie hurt when he rarely eats them anyway. My husband smiled knowingly from his end of the couch and said to me, "Instinct."

To which my son replied, "Yeah, mom...end stinks!"
