slobber

Okay, so I just got back from picking up my kindergartener and on the way home I was privileged to listen in on the most interesting conversation. It was very informative and is brought to you courtesy of two four-year olds (my son and his buddy Porter).

Here goes:
Porter: "oh Sidney [my baby], you are so cute. Um, Jana, what is that thing on her lips?"
me: "you mean her binkie?"
Porter: " yeah, she put it in her hand."
me: "yes, she does that sometimes."
Jonathan: "Porter, that is swobber [he can't say the "L" sound]. Right there is Sidney's swobber."
Porter: "where?"
Jonathan: "right there on her tongue. don't touch it. It's swobber"
Porter: "why?"
Jonathan: "we don't touch her swobber. It's yucky. Bluh, bluh, bluh!"
Porter: "okay"
Jonathan: "we only touch our own swobber. like this."(puts fingers in mouth,I assume.)

So there you have it. In case you ever wondered, you should not touch other people's slobber...just your own.
