I get this all the time.

Henry: I love you so much. I'm going to eat you up. (Commences eating noises.) I ate you up.

Me: Thanks. What did I taste like?

Henry: You tasted like brown...furry... balls.

Out of the mouth of babes.

I have first hand knowledge of the taste of brown furry balls, and if that is what you taste like I suggest a long hot shower.

I tell my friends girl Lucie I am going to eat her. I say, "I'll put you in the over and eat you up!" and she says "DO IT!" and then I say, "I bet you'll taste like cheese!" and she says, "no. I'll taste like BLOOD."

Um.

Gross.

[LetterB]

Isn't that a Scottish delicacy? Mmmm - you're good eatin', lassie.

So that's what "finslippy" means.

Usually 'what my kid says' anecdotes leave me a little cold-fish-ish, but Henry really does say the cutest things ever.

[cagey]

Kiwi, perhaps?

Brown...furry...balls. And what does Daddy taste like? Pink...tacos?

[Vida]

Oh my gosh. I'm crying.

[emlouisa]

bwahahahaaa!!!

[Katie]

Oh my goodness, that made me laugh so very hard! Where do kids get these things?!

[Clem]

Oh good grief. That is absolutley hilarious.

Henry is clearly a genius.

What's he been reading? Where the Wild Things Are, Uncut? Check his picture book stash under the mattress.

[Velma]

This was *the best* way to start my morning.

(According to my kids, I taste like "salty soapy hot dogs." Doesn't that sound like a match for your brown furry balls?!?!)

[Anita]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mir]

I feel dirty.

[TB]

Are brown furry balls supposed to be something savory or not so much? When I was Henry's age, I would tease my sister by calling her a bald man mud puddle because it was the worst insult I could think of in my limited experience.

[Nicole]

You're making me feel inadequate. Just yesterday I thought it was the cutest thing in the world when my son said I had a "Yummy Mommy neck".

And then there's Henry.

How are we to compete?

[Annie]

Did he give any indication of whether this was a good thing or not? Maybe brown furry balls are an exotic delicacy.

*wiping iced tea off monitor*

That's one, um, creative kid you've got there. I love, love, love when you post Henry-isms!

[European]

Hehehe!Surely there are worse things you could taste like... Ummm... Perhaps I'll get back to you on that.

[ChristieNY]

You're kiddo just cracks me up! I love Henry-isms!

[far and away the farthest]

Maybe that is like scrumptious meat balls but warm and fuzzy? Although warm would be good...fuzzy usually means it hit the ground. Ah well, I think he just loves you more than he can say...clearly.
