Attack of the Mommies!!

So, my son comes home from another obviously adventurous sleepover at Nana's house telling me ALL about mommies. I was busy cleaning house and trying to get ready for the day so, I was kinda *ahem* half-listening to him. When I finally tuned him back in this is what I caught:

Garrett: "...and they pull them under the bed and wrap them up from their head to their toes and all you can see are their eyes. And they walk around like this..." At this point, he proceeds to put his arms out in front of him and he takes a few rigid stiff-legged steps while making a groaning sound.

Me: (I have put the pieces of his story together by now [just like you have, I'm sure] and a laugh escaped me so abruptly that I sounded something like a pig snorting and a cat hissing all at the same time). He gave me a funny look. "Honey, do you mean 'mummies'?"

Garrett: "Yeah, mommies. It was ca-ra-zy!"

Mommies, mummies - they're all the same. We all walk around going "Uugghhh..."

Oh! And the source of the mummy story actually came from a commercial he and my mom saw. Anymore, the commercials are getting just as bad as the TV shows themselves (anyone seen the Scion car ads??). But, I will refrain for now and leave that topic for another post at a later time.
