Do you know what it is?

Being in the company of teenage boys can be very entertaining...especially when they are your own. My boys have taught me all kinds of stuff. Speedy ways to use the internet, good music finds, funny You Tube videos and the cultural benefits of shows like FAMILY GUY and SOUTH PARK.

I really don't care that they make fun of me behind my back because they know that I will always love them unconditionally and usually their teasing is REALLY funny, but recently my cries of "I'm not stupid" have come into question. 

While driving in the car one day, both of my yo-yo's were sitting in the back seat and started talking amongst themselves about Up Dog. I was paying attention to the road and only caught pieces of their conversation. This happens a lot and usually ends up with me chiming in classic mother lines like, "Watch your language",  "Keep it down" "Women are not sex objects" etc. What I didn't realize this time, is that they were setting me up for a You-Tube worthy performance. It started with backseat lines like this:

"OMG, That's disgusting. He did what? Not the Up Dog! Nobody does the Up Dog. You've seen an Up Dog?" This was peppered with lots of laughter.

I peered into the rear view mirror and chimed in, "Keep it appropriate", one of my favorite parenting lines.

"Mom, he's talking about Up Dog again" offered one of my sons.

"What's Up Dog?" I said.

Hysterical laughter ensued.

"Seriously" I yelled over the laughter "What's Up Dog?"

Even more laughter erupted from the backseat.

"Is this another wacky sexual thing? What the hell is Up Dog?" I screamed.

This went on for five minutes and my boys practically wet themselves.

"We can't tell you", they cried.

"OMG, What the F**K IS UP DOG" I yelled.

They were howling. Moaning. Couldn't breathe.

"I'm stopping the car if you don't tell me this second WHAT'S UP DOG!" and then I realized that they had pulled off the prank of the year.

OMG. This time I really had to stop the car because I was laughing so hard.

I fully expect this tale to be told for years in my family. I hope they just leave out the word stupid.
