macaboli = guacamole

And for some reason I cannot remotely understand, when she wants to watch Sesame Street, she requests "orifice."

1. As kids get older they learn proper pronunciation for words and proper phrases (it's not the 'toot fairy' - she's not a farter). Some of them are super cute though, and we got a bit sad about DD learning the right way to speak. She's 11, and the only leftover cute mistake she has is "may you" as in "May you please hold my bookbag while I do cartwheels?"

2. The other day we were at the library.
Me: I'm going to go look at the new fiction.
DD: The NUDE fiction?!?!
Me: What? NO! NEW, not NUDE!
DD: Oh!
Me: Nude fiction would be ... porn.
DD: Ew!
Me: Don't worry - libraries don't have porn.
DD: Thank goodness (skips off to children's section)
Librarian who overheard us: Actually we do have porn[vimeo]
Me: I am totally okay with keeping this lie alive.

what library system is that?!

They all do. Librarians are generally anti-censorship and promote everyone's right to access published works of whatever type. You have to look the naughty stuff up in the card catalog and ask them to retrieve it for you, usually.
