The Sweet Husband

Poppy and the PigNuts

Many years ago, when our daughter was little, the sweet husband used to call people Pignut when he thought they had done something stupid, Yes, pignut, as in Pig Testicles.

Over and over again, I told him, do not say that in front of the baby, she is in daycare, when they call me to come up there , I am going to call and make you take off from work and YOU are going to have to go talk to Miss Diana and explain to her why Brandi is calling the kids pignut and if she calls me a pignut I am kicking your a$$.

Sure enough, two or three weeks later, one of the other 3 year olds takes one of the toys she is playing with, she says that pignut took my toy, they try talking to her, and she calls Miss Diana a pignut for wanting the kids to take her toys, they call me, I call him, all taken care of. I was totally ticked off at both of them.

Brandi slept with us, and she had this thing that if the lights were out and you couldn't see her, she believed that you couldn't hear her either.

We go to bed and after a few minutes, this little voice says daddy, mama is mad. He says, yes, but she's mad at me baby, she's not mad at you. The little voice says, dat's ok daddy, she's dus being a pignut.

You could feel the whole bed shaking, I leaned over and poked him in the side as hard as I could, and the shaking got worse, finally he gets out of bed, and kind of chokes out, you go to sleep baby, daddy's got to go to the bathroom.
