The innocence of youth

I went for my mammogram today. When I got back, Younger Son said, 'Where did you say you were going?'
'For a mammogram.'
'What's that?'
'It's when they put your boobies between two metal plates then squish them together until your eyes pop out.'
'Oh. It's not like a strippergram then?'

No...they're NOTHING like a strippergram, ha! Oh the things that come out of the mouths of our babes, even when they're all grown, lol! It's almost time for me to schedule mine too. Ugh!

I have only had one of those things once in my life and my sisters keep nagging at me to go. But I absolutely hate the whole process....

Well-put! :)
I once saw a cartoon where a woman is describing a mammogram: "Imagine putting your breast inside the refrigerator door and then slamming it shut."
I think that sums it up rather well!

Yep, the innocence of youth. Would he have known if you said "Candygram?"

Strippergram? The kid's a gentleman of the world.
