He has said (many times) that he would like to be a comedian when he grows up.  I would not be at all surprised if he actually did it.  He has amazing dimples, big blue eyes and his smile lights up a room.  I know I&#8217;m his mom, but he&#8217;s so cute, he makes my heart hurt.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"17001-1.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/17001-1.jpg\" width=\"229\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He is also a complete ham.  He loves attention; he loves being listened to; he loves making people laugh.  I know EXACTLY where his sophomoric sense of humor comes from, too.  Hubby has always said that it comes from my side of the family and I must admit that it&#8217;s true.  My family has never met a scatological joke we didn&#8217;t like.  We think that this is hilarious:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"monkey%20butt.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/monkey%20butt.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><br \/>\nNothing gets us giggling like a fart joke.  Yes, I realize that admitting all of this makes it pretty apparent that we are not sophisticates, but, oh, well&#8230;laughter is good for you, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, yesterday, Boy&#8217;s class put on something called &#8220;Magical Musical Moments&#8221; and the kids were each allowed a couple of minutes to &#8220;perform&#8221; a vignette of their choice.  Boy and a friend danced and aped and mimicked and lip-synched to &#8220;You Ain&#8217;t Nothin&#8217; But a Hound Dog&#8221;.  Boy grabbed the mike and told a few jokes (&#8220;Why did the chicken cross the road?&#8221;) as he was &#8220;introducing&#8221; their act.  I suppose that I should have been embarrassed:  he ended up hogging the microphone and causing the rest of the class to pretty much lose control, to the slight irritation of the music teacher.  Instead, though, I was just glad that he ended the joke with &#8220;to get to the other side&#8221; rather than the version that we usually tell at home:  &#8220;because the chicken next to him farted&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boy that lives at our house has an infectious laugh and a riotous (but very silly) sense of humor.
