Snap Pea is fascinated with bras. No, not wearing them. As I’ve already mentioned in a previous post, he seems to be terribly interested in the color choices available.
He was recently flirting with a random pretty teenage girl at a restaurant (an amusingly common occurrence for both boys) and ended up asking where she lived and what color her bra was. I was mortified. She giggled. I explained on the ride home that such personal questions were inappropriate. He honestly seemed to get it. Private. Yeah. Check.
So tonight after church, the minister who works with children came up to us with a grin that seemed to be saying “Oh, you’re going to just love this.” I felt myself tense up as he approached.
Minister: Your son sure is creative. (Uh-oh) We were talking about all the pretty colors God made and asked the children what their favorite color was and why. Most of them said things like “blue because of the beautiful sky” or “green because my eyes are green.” Snap? He boldly announced his choice as purple.
Me: Oh, yeah. His favorite is purple. Split’s favorite is pink. We know. We’re cool like that.
Minister: Oh but wait…his reason? Because Ariel’s bra is purple and he just LOVES her bra.
Indeed.
And when we went to fetch the kidlets from preschool choir, Snap’s proclamation was the talk of the room. We took some additional ribbing in the parking lot as we hastily loaded the minivan with our “creative” little ones.
I had made a sort of pact with myself that I wouldn’t post stories on here that would one day truly embarrass the kids (oh, the tales I could tell otherwise). The thing is…if Snap can embarrass us in such a spectacular fashion, I’m thinking all bets should be off on this one. Future girlfriends should have access to this particular thriller.

My son brought me some treasure chests from his pirate toys yesterday. I thanked him for the “treasure chests” and he said, “No, Mommy. They are shells for your big chest.” Yep…my son doesn’t care whether a bra is included or not, but he definitely notices “big chests.”
