On the way to last night's school Unity Dance (featuring face painting)...
Darren: "I want to have rug burns on my face."
Mommy: "What?"
Darren: "I want to have rug burns on my face."
Mommy: "What?"
Darren (irritated at my apparent ignorance): "At the face painting station. I want them to paint rug burns on my face."
Mommy: "You want them just to put big splotches of red all over your face? That's what rug burns look like."
Darren (more agitated); "NO! I want the rug burns that go from your ears down toward your mouth."
Mommy: "So you want them to paint lion or cat whiskers on your face?"
Darren (embarrassed for me at this point): "NO, mom. Rug burns like ELVIS had."
Mommy (with a bit of relief): : "Honey, those are side-burns."
Darren (with a bit of shame, under his breath): "Whatever."
As it turns out, the warrior motif was the more popular choice. Sorry, Elvis.

oh my goodness. that is too funny! kids say such hilarious stuff sometimes :)
That's priceless!! Great story!
OMG that's hilarious...I prefer the warrior look as well.
That was hilarious! I love what kids say sometimes! I have to admit though I am MEAN mommy - no face painting around here. they have each done it once and thankfully neither liked the way it "felt" but it didn't matter because I told them each 1 time only then never again.
This made me laugh out loud! Thanks for sharing it. :-)
hysterical, i laughed out loud and everyone in the room looked at me like i was nuts :)
That's hilarious. I needed a good laugh!
I was thinking as reading, "Rug Burns???"
When I got to the end I was laughing out loud. Love it!!!

That's hysterical!!! How funny that he was getting irritated with you, like "geez, Mom, get with the program"!
That's so funny - I love when kids "mispronounce". My daughter used to call the move "Princess Diaries" "Princess Diarrhea"
LOL! That was great!
Nice pictures too. :)
I think I like the 'rug burn' designation--too cute!

Oh it is so cute when they get words just a little bit wrong.
I love kidspeak! My girls had quite a few, and they always make me smile to remember them!
