Comedy

Sonora told this joke last night:

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side.
Why did the bubble gum cross the road?
Because it was stuck to the chicken. HONK!

Merry Christmas, sort of...
























These would be some of my pics for Christmas cards if I had the ebnergy to crop and upload them to Shutterfly. And then order them. And then address and mail them. Woo, I am tired just thinking about it. Happy Holidays!!!

Conversations with Sonora

Lately, I am the Friendly Ghost. Which involves a lot of ghostly "Woooooooo" and speaking in falsetto. Also, calling her "Human Child."

Conversations with Xavier

X: Mommy!
Me: Xavier?
X: Mommy!
Me: Yes?
X: WHAT?

Potty Mouth

Here is my question: how bad is this word? Bootie Butt.
Because it is getting a lot of airtime here.

Ok, not one of Carlin's 7 words you can't say on television. But still? Here is some context, you can let me know what you think... funny or punishable offense? It's not the Bootie part I mind, it is the second part. Yuk.

Sonora: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?
Sonora: BOOTIE BUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xavier: Bootie Butt!!

(Sometimes she treats me to some choreography, a little bootie butt boogie. Unless she is actually sitting on the potty, which is where a lot of the knock knock exchanges take place.)

On a related note, Xavier has gotten on the Knock Knock joke bandwagon (monkey see, monkey imitate hilariously).

Xavier: Nah-Nock!
Me: Who's there?
X: Nah-Nock! [Grins]
Me: Who's there?
X: Pfffffffffbtth!

Anybody know any knock knock jokes? I am really tired of the 6 or so that we have been telling around here.
