HOT?!

Sunday afternoon, we went to have lunch at my parents' house after church. My sister and her children joined us. As we relaxed after eating, I heard coming from the playroom, Kelsy say "Isabelle, don't you think she's hot?" My eyes got huge in shock! The following conversation occurred...

Mom: "Kelsy come here please."
Kelsy: "Yes, Mom"
Mom: "What did you just ask Isabelle?"
Kelsy: "Mom...." in her most embarrassed voice
Mom: "Well, Kelsy."
Kelsy: "I asked her if she thought the girl on TV was hot."
Mom: "What does that mean?"
Kelsy: "Its like if she thinks she's pretty."
Mom: "Next time, ask Isabelle if she thinks she's pretty, ok?"
Kelsy: "Ok."

Then off to the playroom she went. Later that evening, I told Josh about our conversation. So we called Kelsy down to our room to discuss where she learned this slang from. At first, she was very worried that she would get in trouble. After explaining that Mom and Dad want to make sure that she is learning appropriate things, this was her explanation of "Hot"

"I pulled my hair back while getting water at school and later Jacob told me Russell said that I was hot."

{Yes, Kelsy, but how did you learn what "hot" meant?}

"I just asked Jacob and he said that it meant I was cute."

All I could picture was one of the old time movies with a salsy scene of a girl pulling her hair back, getting water out of the fountain in slow motion while the boys drool! Yeesh! And she's only in first grade!

{Needless to say, Josh and I had a good laugh later}
