I had gotten a frozen lasagna at the grocery one week because it was on sale...and it sounded kinda good to this preggo mama. It was a different kind than we'd had before and it obviously had anise in it. Now I am NOT a fan of anise flavor, black licorice, etc...and I should have just kept my mouth shut at the dinner table. I was (and am) still a little 'gaggy' at textures/tastes and quietly mentioned to Eric that there was something not tasting right to me. Then the boys started complaining..... Needless to say, with a large lasagna, there were leftovers and I didn't want to hear it! They WERE going to eat the leftovers!
So the next few days, there were conversations overheard about anise and black licorice and flavors and, and, and.
One night later that week, the kids tucked in bed, Eric and I were in the kitchen talking. All of the sudden he got the weirdest look on his face.....I turned around to see what he was looking at.
THIS is what we saw....
He was wondering WHY IN THE WORLD the boys had spelled ANUS on the fridge!!!!
I immediately knew what was going on....it was a simple misspelling of anise :) We laughed till our sides hurt!
Since the boys were not yet asleep, I called for them to come out to the kitchen....I had a little spelling lesson for them! Sure enough, they had thought they spelled anise. I explained it was spelled anIsE, then explained what anUs was. "Or a cloaca!" R. piped up!!! Of course they thought their spelling error was hilarious, as did we.
You just never know WHAT you might find on our fridge!
