Boys are icky.

Launching Gavin off my shoulders in the pool, he shot up out of the water and said enthusiastically "Did you see my crack?!"

"Uh, no. Sorry." I said, people looking at us oddly.

Launched him again off my shoulders. Pops up out of the water, more enthusiastically, now almost yelling "DID YOU SEE MY CRACK?!"

"What?! NO, I didn't see your crack. I wasn't trying to see your crack." He actually looks disappointed about this.

Thinks to myself "This is crazy! Maybe I didn't understand him. Maybe I'm hearing things. Hmph."

Launched him yet again. "DID YOU SEE MY CRACK THIS TIME?" complete with underwater 6-year-old butt wiggle.

Nope. Read him loud and clear. Freaking weirdo. What is it with boys and butt cracks? Is this a problem with all males or just mine? Does it ever stop? Is there an antidote? Is it catching? Yeesh.

Lamaze or from a Cheerio to a Donut.

I enjoyed taking Lamaze class with the WU (Wife Unit) but unfortunately she did not always want me to be there. Why you ask? Well, because I would say stupid stuff like; "You are going to go from a cheerio to a donut in no time at all and that is when you pop out the watermelon". (We will have to label this under "face palming" because she had to do that a lot around me and still does...;^)
I am totally surprised, now that I look back on those days, that she never slapped me... ...and yes, even I know I deserved a slap or two and still give her the opportunities but alas, she never takes them so because of this I never do learn when to keep the ole yapper shut...:>)

Paging common sense!

On the way home from school one day, Marshall asks me why tractor trailers don't have signs on the back that say "Wide Left Turns." I told him that it was because every vehicle in the US makes wide left turns because we have to cut across two directions of traffic, therefore it is impossible to make a tight left turn. (I don't believe that turning from a one-way to a one-way happens often enough to matter) Don't lorries in the UK have signs on the back that say "Wide Left Turns?"

Either way, I though it was a neat question for a kid to ask, probably not so much if an adult asked. I mean, common sense and all that, right?

Jo asked that out loud the other day while driving down the street.
