The girls and I were making cookies recently and Claire jokingly referred to me as "Your Royal Highness." Jane gasped and said, "Claire, that's rude!" Totally baffled, I asked Jane to clarify.
Me: "Jane, why do you think it's rude to say "Your Royal Highness"?"
Jane: "Claire, you know why."
Claire: "No, I don't - and it's not actually rude."
Jane: "You're the one who told me it was rude."
Claire: "I did not!"
Jane: "Yes, you did. It's rude because it means bum."
Me: "Jane, "Your Royal Highness" does not mean "bum."
Jane: "Claire said it does."
Me: "I'm sure she didn't say that! Did you, Claire?"
Claire: [silence]
Me: "Claire, did you tell her that?"
Claire: "Not exactly."
Me: "What did you say to her?"
Claire: "Well . . . I did say "Your Royal Hiney."
Jane: "See?! I told you it's rude!"
