Kiddie Kwip: Crack

Gabbers observing Bun climbing onto the couch, "Bun, I see your crack. That's not modest."

Bun, totally freaked out that he has a crack, "Mommy, Gabbers said I have a crack. I need a band-aid!"

I tried to reassure him she didn't mean an "owie" or a cut and it was just his bum she was talking about. He seemed satisfied. I thought everything was okay.

Later Bun came up to me concerned about this crack somewhere on his lower back. I tried showing him what Gabbers was talking about. He seemed to understand. I thought everything was okay.

Later that evening when Danny came home from work, Bun said to him with a sad face, "Daddy, I have a crack." Danny stifled a laugh and gave me an inquisitive look as if asking me to explain. I told him. Bun was still upset about this whole crack ordeal until Danny explained to him that everyone has a crack and it's just where your bum is. He said, "Sometimes people call it a bum crack." I thought everything was finally okay.

Sunday, my friend came to sit by the kids and me during sacrament to help out. She's sweet and nice and doesn't have children yet. Bun was shy at first smiling at her, not saying much. Eventually he started whispering to her about all sorts of things. Bun got more comfortable and was talking in his normal three year old voice. When out of the blue, Bun declared LOUDLY, "Everybody has bum crack!"

I can't believe I didn't hear him say that I was sitting right in front of you! I needed a good laugh to keep me awake. Good job Bun!

Thank heavens. I was worried about that, too, Bun. ;)

I love it!

Around here, the story is that we're all born without a crack. Right after you're born, the doctor drops you on the bed and you crack. They have to do it. It aids in your digestion.

:D
One day I had on a shirt that showed a bit of cleavage and my ten year old daughter pointed to my boob crack and said, "Oh no! The doctor dropped YOU on the wrong end! How's your digestion??"

Funny! Make sure he understands that while his crack is cute at this point, he MUST NOT grow up to have a plumbers crack!

At least you didn't teach him "Just say no to crack" which is probably what I would have done. He's a cutie!
