Cool Lady
Yesterday, my sister -in- law gave me a package of Kool-Aid bottles with twist off tops. She had brought them to my mother's birthday and then forgot to hand them out. I very rarely, if ever, serve any Kool-Aid at this house, so I took the package home thinking the children would really enjoy the treat. The following story made me realize I've done well in this department.
This morning Little Guy saw the beautiful red liquid in the bottles in the fridge and was excited to find out what it was. I told him to go get his older sister and tell her to come have a Kool-aid with him on the porch.
He looked confused and said "A cool lady?"
I said "No, a Kool-aiD! Not LadY!"
He said "A Lady?"
I said "No! It's a drink honey...it's called Kool-Aid."
He ran off to the room and I could hear him calling his sister " Mama says we can have a cool-lady! Come-on!"
River Girl reported later that he shortened it to "lady".
So, if you happen to overhear a 4 yo talking about having a lady...you'll have compassion on the poor mother who can't seem to explain it. :-) I know this could prove to be very embarrassing at some point. I will continue working on it!

Kids are so funny. They ae happy no matter what you call it. We use kool-aid for dying yarn, so the kids don't drink it except a few time a year.
