double meanings

Emma and Lillie are at each other about something. Who knows what. But Lillie storms off upstairs and slams the door. Emma flopps down on the couch, arms crossed and you can almost see the steam coming out the top of her head. Holly intervines. "Emma, If I was mad as you I might have to say H. E. L. L." 
I'm in shock because the ugliest our words in this house are Dang and Shoot and an occasional Shut up.  I fly in the room "What did you say?" Holly does a quick back peddle "I meant to spell it H.E.L. Is that the right way mommy?"   
You see we had a conversation recently that it was ok to say hell if we were talking about were the Devil lives and how it is ok to say dam like a beaver builds but not cursing at someone. There is a difference. Guess we still need to work on that.

What's that?

The girls and I were watching Honey I Shrunk The Kids.  Here is the conversation from the first scene.
"What's that? A typewriter. What's that? A record player. What's that? A telephone? What's that curley thing attached to it? A phone cord? A what?"  I feel really old today.

Beans

It's first thing in the morning. Emma and I are standing in the kitchen and she keeps passing gas. As we both start to giggle she says...."For some reason my butt thinks I had beans"
