6 year old question of the day



Aidan- "What's a ho?"

Brent- "What?!"

Me- "EXCUSE ME?!?!"

Aidan- spelling it out for us this time "What are H - O - S?"

Me- "They are helpful tools that you use in the garden! Why do you ask?"

Aidan- "Well David said that ho's were naked girls. He's a 5th grader, so he must know what they are."

Me- "Well be sure and tell "David" that your father and I appreciate his insight on the subject. Oh, look over there! Something shiny!"

Aidan- "So ho's really are naked girls?"

Brent- "Possibly. However, they are also tasty snacks."



Aidan- "Oooh, can we get some?!?"

Me- "NO!"

With the amazing amount of useless data on the internet, why can't I find any Hookers At The Point quotes??

The T-Dude said...

Doesn't every red blooded American male love a chocolate, cream filled snack?

Scott Oglesby said...

Oh man, you guys totally screwed up this one for poor Aiden. Before he embarrasses himself at school today, explain it to him like this;

Ho’s or whores in polite conversation, are people who have sex (vaginal, oral or anal) with other people for money, crack cocaine or even B-list celebrity status. A whore is usually referring to the female gender, but men can be whores as well.

A slut, while often confused with a whore, is a person who has sex (vaginal, oral or anal) with a partner or multiple partners, either because they enjoy it or because they are chronic alcoholics or drug addicts and/or have dangerously loose morals. Again while the word slut is usually associated with the female gender, recent case studies have proven that the occurrence of ‘slut’ presents itself at a much higher percentage in men.

I hope this will be helpful to Aiden’s education!

A couple of weekends ago, my 17 year old and I were checking into a hotel as he had a college interview the next morning. He tapped me on the shoulder to point out some activity on the street. And there they were... some trashy hookers working up some business. He was all excited telling his nerdy friends about how he saw real, live whores. It was better than a celebrity siting for him.

Homemaker Man said...

Hah. I was just addressing this very subject. And, I hate it that they have to grow up and have friends.

otin said...

Should have just showed him a picture of Paris Hilton!

Doc said...

And don't forget they are also those things that Santa Claus has three of... HO HO HO!

Eva Gallant said...

Don't you just love kids and the questions they come up with!

Brian Miller said...

lol. love conversations with kids...

PorkStar said...

LMFAO... oh man that was funny

Secretia said...

They shouldn't have named those snacks like that!

What's green and jumps from bed to bed? A prostitoad.

Nooter said...

mmmm... snak hos....

Roschelle said...

Wow can't believe I managed to raise one 18 year old and progressing down the same road with my 8 year old and never got asked this question...

great answer BTW :)

foxy said...

He was bound to find out eventually. At least it wasn't from bringing one home, right?

Danielle said...

Cause a 5th grader knows. I love that.

Candice said...

Brent- I'm totally disappointed in you for that. :(

T-Dude- So do I for that matter!

Scott- Note to self- never let Scott babysit. ;)

Beth- Real live whores, huh? Tell him to look around. I'm sure some of the girls in his class could fit that description as well. ;)


Homemaker Man- So true. The friends always screw things up!

otin- Ha! No doubt.

Doc- So true.

Eva- They are entertaining for sure!

Brian- Me too. :)

Secretia- I'll have to tell Aidan that one. He loves frogs. . .

Nooter- Down boy!

Roschelle- Consider yourself lucky.

Foxy- Agreed!

Danielle- Of course. 5th graders know EVERYTHING!

Ken said...

So that is what a Ho is? I thought it was Tigers, girl friends, and he just like girls named Ho

Anonymous said...

It coukd be worse, my mother let my 4 yr old son listen to her mp3 player one day. He came home singing "Its aww white- its aww white- its aww whhhite-----cooowwwwcaine!"
Lovely.

Mike said...

Keep trying Brent. The information is out there somewhere.

linlah said...

5th graders are the smartest people in the world.

Sh said...

It is stories like these that make me oh so very excited to have children of my own. Of course my kids will probably be the ones telling other kids about "hos" on the playground.

Candice said...

Ken- They would qualify as well.

Anonymous- My kids just might like big butts and they can not lie..... I feel it's my duty to expose them to the real high quality music of my time.

Mike- He typically quotes it on the fly. I'm really surprised that he hit blank on this one.

linlah- I know. Taylor tells me that quite often.

Brent said...

Uh, that's not quoting. That's on the fly freestyle, baby.

Sometimes Sophia said...

Watch out for those 5th graders. Nice feint, but there's bound to be some follow through. Good luck.

pegzhere said...

So you think you're smarter than a 5th grader?

Jaime said...

wow. what the hell do they teach kids in school these days.

Tracie said...

Tonight my 7 yr. old asked me if he could watch me shower.

Senorita said...

Wow, I wonder what kids nowadays talk about with each other. This doesn't sound too promising.

AnnQ said...

LOL!

That reminds me of when a guy I worked with from New Zealand heard someone talk about the piece of construction equipment called a "Backhoe"...and he said "A Back Ho? Wow - at home we just call them Dirty Bitches."

:-)

Bonehead said...

Awesome! Anytime that Ho-Ho's (The bastard stepchild of the Yodel) can be worked into a conversation with a child it's a magic moment!

Chris@Knucklehead! said...

I can't afford HoHo's, so I have to settle for the knock-off brand. SkankSkank's.

Fragrant Liar said...

I'm so glad I popped over here. While your kid story was adorable, I really feel satisfied by Scott Oglesby's distinctions between sluts and whores, there's something you totally missed.
You had the perfect opportunity to explain male anatomy by virtue of the ubiquitous Hostess Twinkie, and how said Twinkie interfaces with HoHo's.

But that's just me.

mac said...

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why someone needs their legs looking tanned while they are working in the garden.

Candice said...

Sh- There is a very good possibility that you are correct. ;)

Brent- You do have mad skillz.

Sometimes Sophia- Aidan is in 1st grade now, so I have a little while to go before I have to worry about him bringing "ho's" home.

Peg- Absolutely not!

Jaime- The ABC's about bitches and Ho's apparently.

Tracie- Oy! Okay, I'd rather have the ho conversation any day.

Senorita- I remember thinking "divorce" was getting it on back in the day when I was little. I know. I was practically a child prodigy.

AnnQ- That's funny!

Bonehead- I totally agree.

Chris- If you need a prescription for valtrex you just hit me up.

Fragrant Liar- Now THEY would make a yummy baby!

Mac- Some things just aren't meant to be understood. ;)

Brian O'Mara-Croft said...

Candice--

What ARE hos?

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers,
Brian

Orah said...

hahaha - hos are also tasty snacks? Is that double entendre?

handstowar said...

Love me some tasty ho's

Cassie said...

I left a little "present" for you over on my blog. Hope you like it :o)

Candice said...

Brian- I have no idea. David said they are naked girls. He must know since he's a 5th grader.

Orah- there isn't a conversation at our house that doesn't include a double or quadruple entendre.

Handstowar- I figured as much. ;)

Cassie- sweet. I'll have to go check it out.

corvedacosta said...

if we won't tell them someone else will.

Candice said...

corvedacosta- No doubt!
