Knucklehead

We use the word 'knucklehead' loosely around here; usually to indicate a behavior that is too silly as opposed to proper. For example, if Guinness wants to walk instead of be carried, I ask him if he will walk nicely or like a knucklehead. (He usually responds knucklehead but then walks nicely. If he doesn't I pick him up and tell him he was walking like a knucklehead...Anyway...) We were going to get Gemma from school and there was an old man walking in front of us with an old man shuffle. His legs were obviously very stiff and he took quick, short little shuffly steps forward, and we quickly overtook him. Guinness watched him the whole time, and as we passed him, Guin looked back at him and said to me, "That man walk like a kuncklehead". I tried so hard not to giggle, and once again was SO THANKFUL that most people around us can't understand what my kids say.
