The song “Toes” by Zac Brown Band is one of the ringtones on my cell phone. If you aren’t familiar with the song, the refrain goes like this: “Got my toes in the water, a$$ in the sand, not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand…life is good today…yeah, life is good today.”
The words have never been an issue because when our family sings the song, we say: “Got my toes in the water, hands in the sand…” But today, when my phone rang, Savannah piped up. “Hey Mom, why do we says ‘hands’? Does the Bible say we shouldn’t use the ‘A’ word?”
I explained that no, the Bible doesn’t say we shouldn’t use that word, but there are better choices that we can use when referring to our bottoms.
At this point, Emery joins the conversation. “What are you talking about? What is the ‘A’ word?”
“It’s just a word that some people use when talking about their bottoms, but it doesn’t sound very nice.”
“Well, what is the word???” Then he whispers, “Is it buttocks?”
