In Vegas they have a lot of places with signs outside that advertise Crapless Craps.
I don't know about you, but no matter where I go on a trip there are crapless craps for me.
I call it Vacation Guts.
Oy.
True story- I never said a curse word until I was in the seventh grade (due to my errant belief that God would strike me dead on the spot), and one time when I was about ten or so I was playing Trivial Pursuit with my dad and the word "craps" was in one of the Sports and Leisure Orange Chip questions I had to ask him and I got a case of the cold sweats because I thought I had to say a bad word so instead I played dumb and read the word as "crepes" and everyone was confused.
It was awkward, but not as awkward as the time I tried to read the bible the summer after second grade and kept getting hung up on the word "circumcision" and asked my dad about that one.
Listening to your dad talking about penis tips being cut off doesn't wash out of your brain. Ever.
Any time I see a penis there is a split second that flashes in the spot right behind my ears in the center of my brain of an image of my dad on our old plaid couch trying to pull the skin on his pointer finger over the tip of that pointer finger with the fingers on the same hand his pointer finger penis was on and make scissor fingers with his other hand while stammering about sacrifices for God.
There are a lot of awkward moments in a girl's life when she is being raised by a single dad.

This post is HILARIOUS! I started smiling just from seeing the title.
p.s. Thank you for not posting about snow.
If it helps, a lot of those same sorts of embarrassing hair moments happen when you have a there but absent mother who then tells you when you get home from school how you did it wrong. No, I don't have any issues.
Now that is truly a bad hair day! Ha!!
You totally cracked me up!

It took me a full five minutes to figure out Crapless Craps. I guess I could have followed the link, eh?
Ha! I love both posts but coming from a family with three brothers and a mom who was a tomboy, I totally relate to the swan. My brothers beat me up when i started wearing a bra and dresses and my nickname from 7th grade on was Jugs. Not fair.
Oh, G-d. Great. Now I'm picturing a tiny version of you being taught about penises in comparison with fingers with your dad who I don't even know what he looked like back then but I'm pretending I do and AHHHHH! :)
I just spit my coffee out!!! So funny!!
LOL! Poor fathers everywhere :) I still remember when I asked my father if he was a virgin. I had just heard the word for the first time and had a vague idea of what it was but wasn't sure. He freaked and grounded me. When my Mom got home, he told her and she took care of the explanation and the punishment was lifted. Still makes me smile :)
