Dear Reader,
It's a word that never fails to make my grandkids burst out laughing. And they're not the only ones. Even my grown son (their father), smiles and can always be counted on for a sound effect after someone says the word--butt.
I agree, it's a funny little word that's a lot of fun, because there are so many "butts" to choose from. Twenty, come to mind immediately: backside, bottom, behind, seat, rump, rear, cheeks, booty, posterior, caboose, bum, hindquarters, haunches, derriere, fanny, tush, heinie, patootie, rumpy, and buttocks.
Cosmopolitan magazine researched butts and published the article, "There are 5 Different Types of Butts in the World." You're either toting a Square, V-Shape, A-shape, Round, or an Upside Down Heart behind. (And there's a proper style of underwear for each of them.)
Yes, butt is a well-worn word, because everybody has one and to my surprise some people even "name" their butt. I've never personally met anyone who introduced themselves and their butt, too...
"Hello, I'm Anne," and as she gracefully turns around Anne announces, "let me introduce Bert and Ernie!"
Now that would be a funny story, 'butt'...I won't be telling my grandkids or my son. They need no encouragement.

Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
