If you watched TSN religiously during the World Junior Hockey Tournament, you probably recognize the boys/men/boys-on-their-way-to-becoming-men featured in the picture below. And even if you are someone who happens to be NOT A CANADIAN, you will - from this point forward - remember these characters forever and ever. Because an image of six shirt-less men in tiny gold shorts with crazy hats and fanny
packs is NOT something that is easily forgotten...
Anyways, since we were going to see these hooligans at all of the games, we decided to call them THE NAKEY-NUDEYS (a term we use at our house when someone has no clothes on). Nory was really confused upon our first (and second and third and fourth) nakey-nudey sighting, curious as to why these guys weren't wearing any clothes. I remember brainstorming some possible scenarios with her.....
Maybe they just had a bath. Maybe they lost their clothes. Maybe they were feeling hot. Maybe Santa brought them new undies and red markers and funny hats INSTEAD OF clothes.
As a fan of covering up, Nory didn't quite understand them or what they were thinking. Which is why we were so shocked at yesterday's mention of her career aspirations.
Yesterday, during Tubby (bath) #1 of the day, Nory lit up with a big smile and shared with us (TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE) that she wants to be a "NAKEY-NUDEY" when she grows up.
Yep.
A NAKEY-NUDEY!!!!
Since it is NOT every parent's dream for their daughter to grow up and attend hockey games half-naked, we're going to ASSUME that what she really learned from these six crazy men was this:
Yes. DANCE LIKE NOBODY'S WATCHING. Plus all that inspirational "nakey-nudeys" as a metaphor type stuff that Nory is totally thinking but isn't quite capable of expressing at three years old. You know, live life to the fullest. Remember to HAVE FUN. Be yourself. Don't let others ruin your day.
ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
Is probably what she was trying to say.
When she told us that she wanted to grow up to be a "NAKEY-NUDEY."
