Porter told a funny joke yesterday and got in trouble for it. But before I share his genius humor let me give you a little background.
The house we are living in needs lots of work. Lots and lots! Fortunately for me my brother, Matthew, has been out of work for a few weeks and has been spending his time over here helping me remodel. Matt has a teensy weensy temper and at times has been know to shout and let off a curse word or two. I have told my boys NOT to repeat anything Uncle Matt says.
So this is the joke Porter told yesterday:
"Why did the frog kiss the house?"
"Because he was a stupid-ass toad!"
I sat and visited with Porter about what was appropriate and what wasn't, etc. Then he pipes up and says, "well how come Uncle matt always says it?" So we asked Uncle Matt. Matt and I were both trying hard not laugh as he tried to back pedal out of that one!
Porter's other favorite word to say is BAM IT! That one is my own fault. Sam has a super love affair with the toilet and is constantly putting his hands in it, dropping toys in, trying to drink with a teacup out of it, sticking the toilet brush in, etc. It is a constant struggle to keep the bathroom door shut and Sam out of the toilet. One day I was walking past and noticed Sam in front of the toilet with something brown in his hand! Three things went through my mind, 1)Stop Sam! 2)Damn it not again and 3) I hope it's not poop. This all jumbled together and came out, "SAM IT, DAMN IT!"
The boys ran around the house laughing their heads off repeating exactly what I had said. And clever Porter is in kindergarten right now and they do work lots on rhyming to make new words! So Bam It was born. *sigh* It's tough being a parent! It's even tougher to be a parent that doesn't curse! As if there ever was such a thing! Oh, and it was just a hair clip...that time!
