Vocabulary Lesson

Squeeb: n. Describes a child that looks homeless
Amy introduced me to this term a few years ago. Squeeb children have to have a red mouth. It can be from one of two things: drinking a gallon of cherry kool-aid or licking the area in a circular motion until the skin is cracked and bleeding. Clothes must be dirty. Hair must be a tangly mess. They stink like a day old pee diaper. Last but not least, they must always exhibit klassy behavior. IE picking boogers and handing them to you as a present.

Anna was squeeb-a-licious this morning!

The red mouth in this case is caused by consistent licking.

The squeeb look. Ratty hair. St. Patrick's Day jammies worn in October. A look of disgust from the child as the camera person is saying "Hi, honey! Can you smile at Mom?"

"I aint sayin' she a gold digga..."

I LOVE MY SQUEEB BABY!

This CRACKS ME UP! This is so my children everyday. I get them dressed every morning in nice, clean clothes. Faces clean and hair combed but by 11:00 they are squeebs! The transformation doens't take long! Glad to know I'm not the only one!

I'm sorry, but that child does not look squeebish... None of your children could ever be true squeebs. That is saved for Walmart customers who have their children out at midnight.

Ali said...

HA HA! Cecilee! Yes, they are only squeebs in the privacy of my home. No ventures to wal-mart at midnight...yet. :-)
