Decent/Desirous

We've been working on door manners at our house lately.  Just the typical... knock and wait for an answer before entering a room.  Trenton's door manners are fabulous, but Colson's are a bit lacking.  After Colson barged into our room the other day while I was in the middle of getting dressed, Trent sat down and told him it was fine for him to come in after he had knocked, asked if I was decent, and waited for the "okay", that he could come in. 

While getting ready for church yesterday morning, I heard a knock at the door.  After saying, "Who is it?", Colson responded, "It's me... Are you desirous?"  

Trent and I looked at each other quizzically, and I said, "Am I what?"

"Are you desirous?"

Yep, we had heard the question right.  We couldn't help it... we both busted out laughing.  I think after hearing us laugh, he realized he hadn't used quite the right word.  He came in the room looking a little sheepish.  I asked him, "Did you mean, 'Are you decent'?"

"Oh. Yeah. Are you decent?"

Thanks for the laugh buddy.
