You know what’s funny? Jokes. You know what sucks? Vacuums. Oh my, we’ve been trading this (and chickenbutt) in my family (including my kids) for years. You guys are running the same script my wife and I run and we’ve been happily married for thirty five years. Nicely told Paul.
Paul, my boys say this all the time. I guarantee that Jenn loves the little boy inside you who finds "guess what? chickenbutt" funny.
The beginning of your essay today reminded me of a t-shirt I saw a guy wearing at a citywide art show last year. I recorded it in my little "observations" notebook I keep handy when I want to remember some obscure detail that might make its way into my writing.
The shirt said, "Intrusive thoughts are winning" and had an image of Winnie the Pooh sitting next to a skeleton on a log. Weird but intriguing.
Also, I read your other article about the poetry of peeing, and I've heard all of those euphemisms, except one: "drain the man vein." I seriously laughed out loud at that one.
I laughed when I saw the title! The picture is even better. That arrow! Yes, I’d be mad at my husband for wearing it but (made you say butt!) it would make me happy to see it on someone else’s husband.
Guess what? Traveling out of town to a lunch with my husbands college friends to honor one who died and my husband is wearing a shirt with a little boy smoking a cigarette sitting beside a chicken. 🤦♀️
Glad I’m not the only wife who has to fight off a cringe with our partner’s clothing choices. I may have you beat when my husband wears his Roman tunic! I must love him so very much!
I am going to read this to my husband later. It’s our 17 year wedding anniversary. And he will most definitely want to go and get a chicken butt shirt.
I just sent this to my best girlfriend since 3rd grade. We’ve been saying this to each other since then! Guess what? Chicken Butt, ten cents a cut. Yep, the 12 yr old girls living inside us also think it’s funny 😆
Your post popped up when I was reading a story to my daughter in my phone and she started laughing when she saw the title. I think we are drawn to this kind of humour simply because it brings out something childlike in us - humour that is simple and pure and silly.
Guess why? cow pie.
Beth, we always said, "Guess why? Chicken thigh."

My sister used to say this to her daughters when they were little. A couple years back I got her the tshirt for her birthday.
Her kids have kids now and they say it to their babies.
Guess what chicken butt is legendary.
Sorry Jenn. I’m team Paul on this one. 🫶🏻
I have actually purchased and given a Guess what chicken butt t-shirt as a birthday gift, too.
So, Sister, we’re still on the same team. 😉💖
Good. I love team Jenn ❤️

Of course he is! 🤦♀️

One of my nieces would say, "What, what chicken butt," followed by, "Who knew the chicken poo?" 🙃
Who knew chickenbutt is what would unite us all?? 😅 Also…you mentioned Kansas. Do you live there? (I do!)
This is so wonderful. Mystery. Little boys. Wives. And the things that quiver our hearts. All in one.
This is such a nice comment. Thank you so much. Truly. Comments like these really keep me going <3
I love this!
Love this. I will be more curious and less judgy when I see tee shirts I don’t understand.

Happy anniversary! (and get that man a chickenbutt shirt!)

Well, this is a DELIGHT
