I suppose it could depend on what you're doing with the booty (calling it might get confusing for a kid...), but as an alternate word for ass, it never really pinged me.

Then again, I spent nine years in Detroit, so what do I know?

Today is not a good day to get prescriptions filled--the computers seem to be on vacation too.

Wahoo! I just got an alert that the slipcovers I'd been looking for are available online again. Soon, I will have presentable living room furniture that doesn't look or smell like a litterbox!

I can see both sides, both as a harmless word for gluteus maximus, but has also been sexualized in song (I feel like I just heard a song about having a big booty).

Huh, my corporate holiday present arrived. Everyone in the company was given a fitbit Charge wristband.

I left a whole half hour early. My coworker drove me home, since it was cold, and it is totally out of his way, so very nice of him.

Picked up my groceries and now I am settling in for what is apparently my plan for the evening - snacks and movies. Starting with Kagemusha, then we'll see what I'm in the mood for.

I think I need to stop on the way home for snacks. I have wine, but no good snacks.

So far there is no sign that they will let us go home early, but it could still happen.

"Booty" doesn't seem that dirty to me either...maybe it would matter how someone said it. I don't think I ever have, though, outside the song,

Forgoing my usual Thai takeout for NYE.For once, I'm not socked out with a cold and I'm feeling cheap. But I am having miso with cabbage and spinach, because I haven't felt right all day. I'm a little afraid the crick in my neck is actually a precold symptom.

And I made cookies.

Rose's daycare teachers use "booty" regularly, and it always strikes me as odd, since I do think of it as a somewhat sexualized term. So I can see where your sister is coming from, meara, even if it does seem to be commonly used.
