The other night, the boys and I watched the Steve Martin remake of The Pink Panther. It’s a funny movie, particularly with 9 and 10 year-old boys.<\/p>\n
One scene showed Inspector Clouseau asking to see a suspect’s antique bowls. Unfortunately, his accent makes “bowls” sound like “balls.”<\/p>\n
The scene starts with “can you show me your bowls?” and moves uncomfortably to “show me your big brass bowls!”<\/p>\n
The boys howled with laughter.<\/p>\n
Now we fast forward to yesterday, when we were visiting my parents.<\/p>\n
“Hey Nana,” my oldest son said. “Have you ever seen the Pink Panther? There was this scene where the inspector said ‘show me your ba-”<\/p>\n
“Okay!” I interrupted. “Mind your audience.”<\/p>\n
“What?” he said. “It’s funny!”<\/p>\n
“You sure you want to say that to your Nana?”<\/p>\n
“Oh.”<\/p>\n
“Probably not your mom, either.” I said.<\/p>\n
“Definitely not!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
