Tentacles. Or Whatever.

Our recent breakfast conversation at busy, bustling Ula Cafe:

Jane:  "Mom, can you explain what a tentacle is?"

Me: "A tentacle?"

Jane:  "Yes. [My friend] wanted me to explain it to her but I wasn't sure how."

Me: "Sure.  It's like a long flexible arm on an animal.  For example, an octopus has eight tentacles."

Jane (quietly):  "No, not that.  I mean a man's tentacle."

Margot (loudly):  "Mom, I'm pretty sure she means TESTICLE."

Jane (loudly):  "Oh, yes - that's it!  I mean TESTICLE. Can you tell me everything you know about testicles?"

So glad we live in JP.
