Lost in Translation

“There’s a snake in my butt!” Sam announced over dinner.

“Boot, son,” I corrected, simultaneously extracting Will’s fork from his hair. “Woody says, ‘There’s a snake in my boot.” *

“Oh,” Sam said, sounding disappointed. Suddenly brightening, he shouted, “There’s a snake in my bootie!” to the delight of his giggling brothers.

I give up.
