My wonderful friend of 20+ years, Karli, and her husband Chris are some of our favorite friends. Around 4-5 years ago they lived near us here in CA (can't you guys come back, pretty please?).
Anyway, at one of our get-togethers, we were sitting around a table at a local pizza joint. We were showing Karli and Chris some of Jordyn's "tricks" (she was just barely a year old), and so we asked her:
"Jordyn, where's your pico?"
She pointed to her lower-tummy area.
Tucker said "good job!"
-brief pause-
Then Chris continued on..."Jordyn, where's your bellybutton?"
Tucker paused and then said "Well, that's what she just showed us. "Pico" is Hawaiian for "bellybutton".
A look of relief flowed over Chris' face and he said "OOOOHHHH, I thought you asked her "Jordyn, where's your pee go?" and then I thought she pointed to her diaper!"
Oh my gosh, we laughed so hard!!! Especially when we imagined what was going through Chris' mind! I mean, who in the world teaches their 1 year old "Honey, where does your pee go?" and then proudly says, "Good job"!
Ha ha ha ha ha. We got such a kick out of that and are so glad we cleared that up right that moment! Maybe you had to be there, but I LOVE that memory.

My daughter wanted to see some of your blog. We went back to the one called, "She's My Sister" the one that Lindy reorganized your hair things. What a cool idea for the ribbon spools! I have never seen that before, but I will have to try it.
