This past Christmas, I started a new tradition. I decided to give the kids a "Christmas book." It wasn't necessarily going to be a book about the nativity but a book given to each child that they would enjoy reading. This year, Hannah received "The Little Ballerina" complete with a silver ballet slippers bracelet. Ethan received my favorite children's book called "Snow." Lastly, Andrew received the 8 book collection called "Captain Underpants."
We've been reading through the Captain Underpants books together. Every night the kids sit on Ethan's bed a get ear fulls of silly stories about Professor Pippy Pee-Pee PoopyPants, Captain Underpants, Dr. Diaper, etc. You get the jist. It's a story written especially for boys ages 5-8. The only problem is the language. It's getting soooo old to hear funny "bathroom word" stories, that is for grown ups. My children still laugh hysterically every time I mention the word, Professor Pippy Pee-Pee Poopypants. It's never old to them.. Today at lunch the conversation changed, again as always, back to the funny Captain Underpants books.
This time Andrew had jokes for me that he read from one of the books. I thought I'd share it with you all to let you know what my daily conversations are about. Also, to give you a disclaimer as to why it's difficult for me to carry on adult conversations any more. My mind is saturated with stuff like THIS all day.
Andrew: "Mom, why did Tigger stick his head in the toilet? ....To look for Pooh."
Andrew: "Why did Batman cross his legs? ...He had to go to the Batroom.
Andrew: "What does Thunder wear under his clothes? ...Thunder wear.
Lastly, the worst one.....
Andrew: "What would you do if you got stuck in an elephant's tummy? .....Jump up and down til you're all pooped out."

You can use this later on when your kids try to tell you that your not cool. They will say, "Mom, you never let us do anything fun..." or something like that. And you will say, "Oh, no, dear, remember Captain Underpants??" They'll have to recognize that you are pretty reasonable ;)
OOPS! I meant to say "...tell you that YOU'RE not cool..." I hate when people get your/you're mixed up ;)
That's awesome. I can't wait to meet them.
