"Boobs!" and "I think it's Roy Orbinson"

This post is going to sound exactly as it seems, so take this as fair warning to those who get awkward around the subject of friendly boobs and Roy Orbinson.

I was holding Ellie last night and all of a sudden I feel pressure on my "chest". Ellie was poking my boobs as if it were the Pilsbury Dough Boy. I started to laugh and she looked up at me and said, "mom boobs." For an instant, we (Jae and I) thought she was saying "my boobs". She kept saying, "mommy boobs! boobs! boobs!" then she pointed to her own chest and said, "Ellie boobs." We laughed and told her she won't be getting a pair of those for a long long long time, I hope!

She continued to poke and squeeze as if she were picking out fresh produce as she continued to say "boobs! mommy boobs? boobs!", only it sounded like a chant by this time. Ellie was not breastfed so I guess she finds this all amusing, but hey, she had her chance as an infant. I hope she doesn't do this in public. How embarrasing would that be!

But Ellie wasn't the only family member that made me laugh last night. My dear husband and I watched a movie trailer about Johnny Cash, but at the time we had no idea who it was. I ask, "Who is that supposed to be?" Then Jae says, "Elvis? No, wait, it's Roy Orbinson." Oh my gosh...I never laughed so hard in my life. I thought he was joking at first, but he was so sincere that made laugh well into 15-20 minutes after he made the comment. I hope he doesn't do this in public. How embarrasing that would be!

as long as she didn't carry over her observations and start pointing at Jae's chest...I see her vocabulary has, um, progressed...

At least Jae didn't think the movie was about Mommy Boobs!

to jae's credit, i think johnny cash would've taken it as a compliment to be mistaken for roy orbison...from what i'm reading in his (cash's) autobiography, they were really good friends...
