Just can't help it

I have to post about this, even though it's a little "inappropriate."
At the lunch table the boys were being their usual manly selves and seeing how much toilet talk I would listen to before sending them to their room. They finally seemed to get their conversation out of the gutter when it took an abrupt downward turn. It started innocently enough, when Zach brought up "kidney pie" which he had heard about on a 3-2-1 Penguins episode, and Gabe (who LOVES to inform Zach of any minute fact he can get his hands on, presumably to remind his little brother of the proper order of things) told Zach that kidneys are human body parts.
I butted in quickly, visions of cannibalistic tales reaching Mrs. McGahan's first grade class on Monday, telling the boys that kidneys belong to ALL mammals and if they wind up in a pie they must be from a cow or something.
"Oh," said Zach, " Are kidneys those little round things that hang down behind the doodle?"

This, of course, led us back down that road, which led to Gabe's announcement that when he was a grown up his doodle would be the size of the universe.

I'm done.
