Ireland's mixup!

The kids and James watched 'The Penguins of Madagascar'. I came walking in to the room right afterwards and she and I had a conversation that went like this.

Ireland: That penguin is a wiener.

Me: (thinking I must have heard wrong) What?

Ireland: That penguin is a wiener.

Me: What?!

Ireland: That penguin is a wiener!

Me: What?!

Kylee: The penguin is called Private, that is why she thinks that.

Me. laughter.....laughter.....laughter.....

After a few minutes James and I were able to calm down and then explain to Ireland (and the rest of the kids) the difference between body 'privates' and the rank of 'private' in the military!

That made my whole day!! I have been giggling for a few minutes, wiped away the laughter tears in order to comment. I love how literal little children are!
