High Cotton!

My

Jay-Man

Lost Another tooth!

So in case you can't remember all of my children's life stories, I'll just take a second to get you up to speed. Jameson is a giant! He has the longest big toe that I have ever seen! He hasn't even started kindergarten yet, and he just lost his 4th tooth!

When the 4th one was wiggly, he came to me and said,

Jay- "Mom! Mom!

 He always calls me twice, b/c apparently once is just not enough!

Jay-"Look, my other tooth is loose!"

Me- "That's cool Jay."

Then he looks at me with this adorable little smirk on his face, nods, and says,

Jay- "HIGH COTTON!"

Now right about now you are probably thinking

"What the heck is Emily talking about? That makes no sense."

But it's cute cause he remembered this obscure story Tom was telling me one night

 about his  Southern friend who likes to say-

 "You're in the HIGH COTTON!"

Which is a reference to someone who is "doing well."

Now if this isn't the face of someone who is

"IN THE HIGH COTTON"

I don't know what is.

That's a FOUR DOLLAR smile right there!

p.s. The boys have taken to calling each other "Minks!"

These animals supposedly stink so bad that the smell is compared

to a cross between a skunk and a cow farm!

Tom thinks it is so funny. You'll all of a sudden hear one of them say,

"Ya Mink!"

and the other one will retaliate by saying,

"Ya Mink farm!"

The wierdos!
