Be Careful of the 'secret' ingredients

We were eating dinner tonight when this son of mine started to panic. It had something to do with the ingredients in the barbecue sauce. He couldn't get the words out, but it obviously was something bad. Finally, he asked if he would get in trouble if he read the package out loud. After being assured he was cleared, he began to read. Everything was fine until he came to..

mole-asses

Yes, my beloved son swore off barbecue sauce for good when he believed that he had been eating mole-asses all these years.

Once he found out that it was indeed molasses (which he had never heard of, the city boy), he was relieved, because, as he said, "I do not want to eat moles or their asses!"

Well, amen to that, sonny boy.

oh my gosh, that made me die laughing. By the way, that may be a good story to submit to Readers Digest. They pay $100-$200 for stuff like that. The chances of getting one published is 1 in 10,000 but hey I did it so why not :)

The Reader's Digest suggestion is a good one...But would they allow the word "ass"? :)

I love when kids break down words. Some of our favorites from Jenny, What's a ram-a-da inn? Ramada Inn. Of course we had to shut Kevin up not to teach the child his meaning. Gees-up which is Jessup Rd. My nephew St. Luck-e hospital for St. Luke. He is from down south which would explain things, but none are as good as molasses!
