Make Sure You Understand the Question
* This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. *
Yesterday, on the way back from dropping Brianna off at her Spanish class, I had Kenny Chesney playing on the radio (I think it should be noted that it was playing rather loudly for this post to make sense) when the following conversation ensued:
Me: I love me some Kenny Chesney.
Megan: Is Kenny G gay?
Me (a little startled that my 9-year-old would even think to ask that, but trying to maintain my “always try to answer an honest question honestly” motto): Well, this is Kenny Chesney, not Kenny G and I have no idea about Kenny G’s sexual orientation.
{pause}
Do you even know what that means?
Megan: No.
Me: Why would you ask about something when you don’t even know what it means?
Megan: I asked if Kenny G was dead.
Me: Oh.
{pause}
Both Kenny Chesney and Kenny G are very much alive.
Always make sure you understand the question.

We keep listening to books on CD – old books, like "Little House" and they use "gay" frequently, in it's original meaning…..I keep wondering how long it'll be until my boys use that word.
LOL!!

I like the title of your blog. I was looking for Easy Grammar reviews and came across your site. I'm heading over to that page review now.
That's so funny, Kris! I just wrote a post about the importance of working laughter into our homeschool days – you certainly just made me laugh!

I often think of when one of my nephews was little (he's in college now). One time in the van, he said, "Mom – you're a bit."
My sister was sure that he had called her a not so nice word that just needs a couple of extra letters. She kind of jumped on him and said, "What?!?"
He said, "Okay, okay — I'll be the bit and you can be the kibble." LOL
You know, like Kibbles and Bits pet food? Too funny!
Bwahahaha!!! I love this!!!!
Hah! That's hilarious! And I love, love, LOOOOOVE me some Kenny Chesney too!
That is too funny, it really made me laugh! I love the title of your blog, it is quite clever.
