"Erin-isms"

Last night Andrew and I had a date night after church. Our friends and neighbors, Matt & Erin were kind enough to watch Greg after church so we could have a nice dinner out, just the two of us. Erin is notorious for saying hilarious things which she is totally oblivious to. It is serious comedy in my opinion. It's not like being good at delivering a joke, but she speaks with 100% raw honesty and says whatever comes to her mind. What makes it even better is that she's a college professor and is getting her PhD in literature, which means she has a fantastic vocabulary and uses cool words that most people probably don't even know the meaning of.

So last night when we went to pick Greg up, he was running around on their wood floors playing with their daughter Sylvia, and the adults were hanging out just talking for a few minutes. Greg slipped a little and his legs went out from under him, sliding into the splits! Erin very matter of factly said "Greg, be careful! Don't tear your little scrotum! There will be no scrotum tears on my watch." 2 questions: 1.) Do scrotums actually tear? 2.) Who says "scrotum tears?" I was laughing my butt off.

I looked up at her and said "Did you just say scrotum?" and burst out laughing. So there was the "Erin-ism" or hilarious Erin quote of the day. Scrotum tears....who knew?

Love ya Erin! Thanks for always making me laugh! You're a great friend!
