BOHONKUS

As a teacher, I hated to hear my students refer to their bottom's,
as their 'butt's". I never have personally liked that term, so I
decided long ago,I would find a better word for them to use when
referring to it. They were not allowed to use it in Mrs. Lock's class,
so they used the term "Bohonkus" instead! I got many laughs
from that at first, but it came to be second nature to them after
awhile. They never forgot it!
Infact, several years ago, when I drove back to Aiken, one
weekend,one of my former students who had just graduated from
college, told me that he taught his children to say" bohonkus"
instead of "butt" too!
What a compliment!
Jesus told us that the tongue could do more damage than a wildfire.
Even an innocent word like "butt" isn't very flattering, and can
hurt someone's feelings. It's part of God's best creation,
and our choice of description of those things that God created, should
be chosen wisely. I'm not sure "Bohonkus" describes it very well, but it
will bring a big smile to your face, and that in itself makes it worth it!
Choose your words carefully, or carefully word what you choose!
