Observant? Yes...Culturally Insensitive? Perhaps

I'm not quite sure when my Buddha collection began, but for the past fifteen years or so, I've been picking up a Buddha here and a Buddha there and I now find myself with a small collection, part of which resides on the sideboard in our dining room.

Yesterday during dinner, O looked over at the largest of the Buddha's and exclaimed "big, black boobs."

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Big, black Buddha boobs" she replied.

Genius, I know.

  2. Nice alliteration! You have to start a book of her quotes. It's easy to think 'I'll remember' but I know in my mama brain at least, a lot of gems like that have been lost.

  4. This post reminded me that about four years ago a hippie customer came into my husbands work and gave him an unusual looking Buddha as a gift. Something to look after his "son". Ya know, something that both religious freaks and athiests agree, give the blind kid a Buddha and all will be well. Holy crap that thing has been sitting in Rocco's closet facing his bed for four years. I'm too scared to move it. Although I didn't really think it fit the decor of choo choo's and airplanes, I also didn't want to offend any JuJu MoJo out there, so on the shelf it sits... behind closed doors. It's not too pretty.
