Candy's Column
Goodwill Had Better Get Ready for a Windfall
Because I’m pretty sure — and I could be TOTALLY wrong about this — our little boy won’t want to wear his sister’s hand-me-downs.
He probably also won’t be too jazzed about me referring to his private parts as “bits.” Perhaps I should use Mr. Candy’s preferred and MUCH more appropriate term: “wang.”
Upon learning we’re having a boy:
MR. CANDY: Cool! One of each. That’ll be fun.
ME: I have so many sweater vests and newsboy caps to buy, it isn’t even funny.
MY MOM: I knew it! I was right. Of course I was right. Did I mention I was right?
MY MOTHER-IN-LAW (and mother of three sons): Oh! Great! …Though another little girl sure would have been nice. *SIGH*
MISS SKYE: More ‘nana? (Banana, for those who don’t speak Skylar-ese)
THE CATS: As long as you teach this one how to feed us treats, too, it’s all good.
