I have named my new computer at work: Persephone – Part Time Queen of the Underworld. Persephone has the coolest job. Part time Queen of the Underworld, and also in charge of Spring!
Ok, for those of you who are wondering what Evildeb is up to, besides no good, an Evil Family story. You probably know that I consider AlmostCertainlyGoingToEndUpEvilMaggie to be one of the greatest kids on this planet. At five, she likes to collect bugs, knows all about snakes and is planning on being a Crime Scene Investigator when she grows up. She likes science and blood does not scare her because she sees it all the time. The same cannot be said for monsters. The other day, when discussing matters of anatomy with her mother, AlmostCertainlyGoingToEndUpEvilMaggie referred to the labia as “the lady butt.” Men have penises, women have lady butts. Labia —> Lady butt, I can see how that would happen. Had I been sipping a beverage when Evildeb told me that, it would have come out my nose. That kid is priceless!
This prompted a discussion about what we called male and female genitalia when we were little. I called penises flowers. Boys had flowers. Girls had them too, but they were on the inside. Flowers. That’s pretty cute. But not as good as lady butt.
Last night Mr. William and I had a breif discussion on a simular matter… after repeatly resisting his advances… he was high on gravol, and feeling lonely, i explained that i was a lesbian, he said his penis was just an in sideout uterus, then he feel a sleep fully dressed… i made scrambled eggs, and put on a pot of coffee… he would want some when he wakes up. Poor mr william
I want a sound bite of you saying “Persephone – Part Time Queen of the Underworld”
When I was little boys had birds. I don’t remember giving any thought to what girls had. (Well, cooties, but that’s a whole different thing.)
My boys all refer to their boyhood as ‘penis.’
Ok so aside from Percy, Persephone is, like, my most favorite name… ever!
