Well, that’s mighty cheeky of you!

I may not be British but I find this phrase delightful. We do embrace rather irreverent humor around these parts – that’s one of the best things about having teens, really, the fact that their humor extends beyond Spongebob and fart jokes. Don’t get me wrong, they still think fart jokes are a riot, but they also appreciate my particular sense of humor.

I’ll be the first to admit it can be a bit…unorthodox. But I think cheek is a skill. If you only laugh at pies in the face you’re missing a whole bunch of layers of the funny and what kind of life is that? A non-cheeky life, that’s what.

Bah humbug.


Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “cheek.” Use it as a noun or a verb. Enjoy!
