Thank Goodness for Uncles (and Aunts)
Warning, this is a little bit crude but it’s out of the mouths of babes so I claim my own innocence.
Mikey has decided that when his underwear is stuck in his bum it is called a “wiener”. Now I have repeatedly tried to tell him that the correct word for this phenomenon is a “wedgie”. To which he proudly explains that “Uncle JEREMY says it is a WIENER”. Thanks Jer.
So I have tried to ignore this little quirk of in hopes that it would go away. However, at our family reunion an incident occurred which made it impossible to ignore any more. All the little kids were playing on one of those old swhirly spinner things at the playground (it was an old school playground) and all of a sudden Mikey yells “Wait a minute I have a huge wiener in my pants!” To which all the cousins look at him like he’s disgusting. Aunt Jasmine relayed this story to me (and she knows what he really means) so i asked her if she explained it to all of the people there and she got a sheepish look on her face and said “nope”. Thanks Jazzie.
So to any parents, cousins, parents of cousins, who may be reading this … Mikey thinks that a wiener is a wedgie. Please don’t think he was being gross 
He was just misinformed. hehe.
Today I finally made Mikey call Uncle Jeremy and clarify. This actually helped. Now he simply says “Mom I have a wedgie, but Jeremy used to call it a wiener, but now it’s called a wedgie”
I guess that is a little better. Maybe I just need to get him some bigger underwear

Just to reiterate… I never did teach him to call a wedgie a wiener… I’ve taught him many things, but I can’t claim that one (although I do think it’s funny!)

I am sorry but I laughed so hard and thought to myself, “Which one of my mommy friends would get a kick out of this.?” The worst thing my brother taught my kids was to pick their noses and eat it! Disgusting I know but this is too funny! Thanks for sharing. And to all you Uncles and Aunts out there watch out not only will we teach your kids stuff to totally embarass you but our kids will help too!

Breaking news … Most recently Jeremy taught Mikey the “bum bum song” think Tom Green … When I got home Mikey sang it for me and I got a bit mad and sad at him. And he looks at Jeremy and says “I TOLD you she wouldn’t like it!” And I told him he shouldn’t sing it any more to which Mikey says “But I HAVE to sing it, it’s my FAVORITE song!”
Mikey is very passionate about life
Once again … Thanks Jer
