My 5-year old: I am... Pototoy Man!
moi: Don't say that.
Arsenal Hooligan: What's that mean?
moi: Oh, it's Tagalog kiddie talk for 'penis'.
My 10-year old: MOM! You said..!?!? *gasps*
moi: Sweetie. It's ok. It's the clinical, biological term for the organ. You know that.
My 5-year old: Pototoy head! I have a pototoy, Isaac my friend has a pototoy, all boys have a pototoy!!!
moi: Don't talk about other people's organs like that. It's not nice.
My 10-year old: Lungs! Stomach, spleen, pancreas! Esophagus! And... TRACHEA!
My 5-year old: Trachea! And pototoy.

Zoo Guide: ...And this tortoise here is our most Senior Citizen. He's 60 years old.
Moi: OMG! He's so cute!
Arsenal Hooligan: No he's not. He's a grumpy old man.

Arsenal Hooligan: No he's not. He's frowning.
Moi: *goes in for a closer look*
Arsenal Hooligan: Oh well. At least he gets a discount at Mini Stop.
