What is it about Target which brings out the oddest sayings from kids? Is it because we're distracted in finding the crap we need while keeping their hands off of every object in sight? There's a reason why I'd rather go by myself because you won't find me uttering 'you're the reason why birth control was invented' out loud. Or looking up and seeing the shock on people's faces from their lack of humor.
We're at the tail end of our Target shopping, again hurried so much so I forgot to use my coupons. Damnit. I don't know what in the hell Brendan and Colin saw for this question but they wouldn't stop asking. Loudly, very, very loudly.
'Mom, can we buy some pot?'
'You want to buy pot?'
'Yes' in chorus.
'Do you even know what you're asking for?'
'We want to buy some pot. Do you know what it is?'
At this point I'm laughing hoping someone hasn't overheard us. I can only imagine the horror with furious whisperings to call child services on me. All I want to know is what sparked this question of theirs. Last I knew Target hadn't become drug dealers.
ETA: Upon further grilling in the kitchen at home we found out they saw a teapot at Target. Instead of asking for a teapot or kettle, they just asked for pot. Even Jason almost choked when I told him what the boys were asking for last night.

well, the teapot is where i always kept my stash
I was awfully curious about what they were asking for. I was guessing "pot noodles" (those awful little styrofoam instant ramen).
Why did they want a teapot?
I can only guess it's coming from my drinking more tea lately.
