So as a parent of two small kids...I'm talking seven and five...I'm always amazing at the comedic power of a small boy or girl...in their own ways they both are very very funny...for example...today...a small dirt spot in the front lawn of our elementary school quickly was made into a muddy hole which sucked the young boys to like a moth to a flame...I quickly noticed a young boy...no older than three spot the honey pot...and quickly locked on and charged it...with a quick leap the boy was ankle deep and mud...to my amusement I know that this boy is the youngest of four boys...how this mom does it, is beyond me...the boys are all cut from the same cloth...crazy cloth that is...she is too funny and does a brilliant job...in this case...the look she gave when she saw her little spawn was priceless...a simple shrug and a grab of the wipes...
On the flip side the girls were equally funny but in a different way...clad in sundresses and sparkly shoes...these little ladies were not in the mood to mingle with their muddy friends...they were busy running chasing bubbles and putting on tattoos...dozens of tattoos...incredible stuff to watch...My favorite part however, was when water balloons were handed out....the girls held them or in many cases dropped them within seconds of getting them...the boys almost immediately tossed them at the nearest target...after the boys realized their fun was over...they ascended on the girls who were, for the most part, still holding their prizes...the girls were deciding what they wanted to do...which turned out to be the hoard of boys approaching to get their balloons...
Such an interesting view of tiny brains...being a parent is fun...hard but fun
