I think I'm going to regurgitate!

Says the boy child as he comes out the of bathroom at Tom Thumb this morning.  The ensuing conversation went something like this:

Mommy:  Why?  Are you sick??  (thinking the flu has returned...placing hand on forehead to check for fever)

Owen:  (making gagging motions, holding stomach)  No...it just smelled so BAD in there!!

Mommy:  (pulling back comforting hand...cautiously waiting for the rest of the story)  Did you make it smell bad?  Do you have an upset stomach?

Owen:  (more gagging motions)  NO!  There were some old men in there and they were making a stink!

Mommy:  How did you know they were old men?

Owen:  (exasperated) By their shoes, Mommy.  They had old man shoes.

Mommy:  Hmmmm...(pushing cart out the door, pondering this response)

Owen:  Mommy...old men sure do stink.

Mommy:  Well so do little boys...

Well, there you have it.  The "old men" in the bathroom stink.  I still haven't clarified what "old man shoes" look like...perhaps I am a little afraid of the response.  I am kind of impressed at his correct use of regurgitate, though.  What a boy!
