This is a bit of a continuation from the last post...
We're reading about the Orthodox church. We get to mosaics. It's been a relatively normal bout of lessons, really. The boys are into it, they're excited about our plans to get some tiles and make a mosaic for the foyer. Things are good.
We veer into talking about different types of gems you often see in Byzantine art. Rubies, sapphires,
"Ohhh, opiums!"
Uh... (OK, perhaps we do need to sit down and have a little family talk...)
"Honey, did you mean 'opals'?"
*sheepish grin from the offending child* Oh. Yeah. *chuckle* Those.
I'm so glad we're home when these things happen!
Kiss those babies!

Do you have a family room or a den?
If you put the opium-laden mosaic in there, you can laugh for a looooooong time about your "opium den."
Well... I'd laugh, anyway. :)
Gotta ask: What the heck are you reading to those kids?!
On the other hand, I'm frequently thankful that my kids say some of the things they say at home, too. :-)
Hillary's comment about your opium den made me spit Dr. Pepper. LOL
