Potty Humor

I was a tomboy. I get climbing trees, I understand the joy of bug-catching, I like mud. I get it. What I don't get is the facination and seeming hilarity of anything that pertains to bodily functions. All day long, I have to listen to the boys laugh at just the very words "poo" "poop" and even "stink". They will say these words, for no reason other than cracking each other up. They will say it when it has no relevence whatsoever. It never ceases to create laughter. I will never understand. However, raising these boys and seeing that such immature senses of humor must be programmed by the 'y' chromosome helps me to understand why certain movies make money.

Let's combine the boys' lack of ability to tell an actual joke with the previously mentioned poop humor.

Addison: "Knock Knock"
Asa: "Who's there?"
Addison: "Stink"
Asa: "Stink who?"
Addison: "Stinker"
Both erupt into uncontrollable laughter

Asa: "Knock Knock"
Addison: "Who's there?"
Asa: "Table"
Addison: "Table who?"
Asa: Table stinker"
Even greater laughter than before

Addison: "Knock Knock"
Asa: "Who's there?"
Addison: "Stinky"
(already having trouble holding back laughs)
Asa: "Stinky who?"
(cracking up just saying the word "stinky")
Addison: "Stinky Pooper Table Bread Dinky"
Tears from the rolling laughter...

Then, Asa pulls out a true joke... the only one they actually "get"...
Asa: "Knock Knock"
Addison: "Who's there?"
Asa: "Ach"
Addison: "Ach who?"
Asa: "Bless you!"
Smaller laugh than the previous stink jokes.

Addison: "Knock Knock"
Asa: "Who's there?"
Addison: "Orange"
Asa: "Orange Who?"
(Is Addison going to follow suit with an actual joke???)
Addison: "Orange Blang Plah Boo Boo Stink!"
Falling-out of-the-chair-laughter. Ahh... the funniest joke of them all... thank goodness Addison took a boring "orange-ya" joke and made it four-year-old-worthy.

Did this post seem to go on forever? Did it seem a little annoying to anyone? I hope so. Now imagine it over and over for about 3 hours a day.
