“Mom, where are the band aids? Jay just gave me the worst nipple twister of 
my life. I’m pretty sure my nipple’s gone.”
“Oh c’mon, Will! I hardly twisted. Plus, you sorta deserve a purple nurple for saying you’re getting me a tutu for Christmas…and a pink one with sparkles. You know orange is my favorite color!”
Jay-9 & Will-10
It’s all fun and games until someone loses a nipple. Try explaining that one to the pediatrician at the next visit.

Purple nurple. It’s been a while since I’ve heard that one.

It’s brand new to me. They were called titty twisters when I was a kid. I like purple nurple much better.

My initial reaction was to check that mine were still there. Seriously. I think both of them deserve to see some tutus under the Christmas tree this year, don’t you? The picture is HILARIOUS!!

Tutus from Santa! Actually, Will would be mortified. Jay would enjoy the opportunity to act ridiculous and entertain his family and friends. He’s all about getting a laugh which can be extremely frustrating at times…the kid takes nothing seriously.

Well, purple and pink with sparkles to go together nicely

I’ve never heard of a purple nurple. Is it anything like a wet Willie? 😛

You may know it as a titty twister. Classy, huh? It’s currently a preferred method of torture between brothers. They find it highly entertaining.

I’m thinking putting a Band-Aid there isn’t going to feel good either, especially when brother sees it and decides to rip it off!

Ouch, you are right! Ripping a band-aid off may even be worse than a purple nurple. 😉

You’ll be happy to know that they still give atomic wedgies and shoot spitballs. In fact, I think I have a spitball in my hair right now. 😦

Scary thing is Jay said he would like an orange one as opposed to a pink tutu.

Jay would wear an orange tutu if it meant that he could get people to laugh at him. You never know what that kid will do to be funny, it’s actually quite frightening.

I gotta agree with Ryoko. Jay welcoming a tutu of ANY shade is more than a bit disturbing!

John, Jay was born a jokester. We have no idea where it came from, considering we are extremely serious people. 😉
But seriously, we are a little concerned about what will come out of his mouth next and we have yet to find his off switch.

That child is always looking for a laugh…sometimes it’s enough to put me over the edge.
I honestly think he might wear an orange tutu just to be funny and outrageous! 😦

I love the “orange is my favorite color” part! What a riot it must be in your house!

I’m either laughing or completely frustrated. Sometimes they get so carried away with the nonsense that I end up losing it! Sound familiar?
Jay does not have an off switch. This blog is very therapeutic. 😉

Isn’t it funny how having children brings back your juvenile sense of humor? If someone would have told me 12 years ago that I would be writing about purple nurples, I would have told them that they were nuts.

HAHAHA!! A purple nurple!
Now I feel hip and young again! Didn’t know that term was still used by kids!
I will SO find a reason to throw that one out at the office this week.

When you throw out purple nurple at work, make sure to follow it up with an atomic wedgie.

Laugh Out Loud funny! Yes it is all fun and games until someone loses a nipple or has to have their “Kicks” cereal extracted from their nose. Pediatricians should write books!!

Don’t tell me you had to have cereal extracted from one of your children’s noses? That might be worse than a missing nipple…nipples grow back, don’t they? 😉
