Falling off the “cooter”

Yesterday our oldest is outside playing with the neighbor friend and they’re riding those little three wheel scooter things. Both are about the same age. We call the neighbor kid J, though I’m not sure what his real name is. Anyhow, he has a habit of leaving the first letter off of certain words and it makes for some interesting comments.

Our son, J and another neighborhood kid walk up yesterday and we notice our son has bloodied knees. He’s cool about it though and just wants some bandaging up.

We take him inside and J follows. We’re fixing his knees up and J informs us as to how it happened. He says, quote:

“He just fell off the cooter”.

Now, how many people get scraped knees when falling off the “cooter”, eh?
