Guy Humor

My kids make me laugh. So lately Daddy has been ridding his bike to the bus stop, and then he will ride it to work, once the bus reaches town. We keep his bike out on our balcony, so everyday when he gets home from work, he has to carry the bike through our living room, and out onto the balcony. Anyway, Guy loves to go outside. The first few days that Daddy rode his bike, when he would come home, after he went out on the balcony, Guy would either follow him out, or stand by the open door, talking to his Daddy. So Daddy would pick him up, and carry him out there, and they would stand out there for a few minutes. Well it has gotten to the point that Guy expects this kind of thing, when Daddy gets home. He will be playing contentedly on the floor, and as soon as he hears the key in the lock, he makes a beeline for the balcony door, and stands there until Daddy gets there. One day this week, Daddy didn't ride his bike, but even then, as soon as Guy heard the key in the lock, he headed for the back door, and was quite disappointed when Daddy didn't come that way too.


Guy loves food. He loves the refrigerator. He loves to pull things out of the refrigerator. He also loves Cinderella's little doll stroller. He loves to put things in the stroller, and push them around. Can you see where this is going? So yesterday, Daddy was putting away the groceries, and I guess Guy pulled a bottle of BBQ sauce, a couple bottles of mustard, and a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, out of the fridge, unnoticed. Well a little while later, I looked over at him, and he was pushing the stroller around, with all of those items in it. It was quite cute and funny.


The video doesn't do it justice, but it was the best we were able to get.

F is for finding humor in situations

OK so it really should be H is for humor but seeing as how I have already used H I needed a different option.
Having a 2 year old and a 4 month old can create some interesting situations. For example, when I am home with just my two kids I have gotten in the habit of when I go to the bathroom, I take the baby with me and lay him on the floor in my bedroom right outside the bathroom door, and then I leave the door open. My daughter will then sometimes wonder where I am and start calling out "Mommy", and then I will respond with "what?" and she will ask "where are you" and I will yell back, if she hasn't found me yet, "I'm using the potty". Well today in such a scenario I realized that the bathroom window happened to be open, and I could just imagine someone walking past our apartment and suddenly hearing "I'm using the potty" in an adult voice, and the thought hit me as humorous, maybe you just think it is dumb, but I thought it was funny.
Recently we were given this toy for our baby that is a sphere shaped rattle on one side and a sphere with cloth flower petals on the other side and then they are connected by a curved bar that twists in the middle. Anyway, I gave him this toy to play with and it was so funny to watch. The bar is to big for him to get a hold of easily, so he would clasp it to his body with his arm, and then he would try to shove the rattle end into his mouth. It is too big to fit however and he would lay there and try over and over to get this thing into his mouth, it was funny to watch.
I'm realizing as I am writing these episodes that maybe you have to be there to get the humor out of some things.
Tell me what funny things have happened to you lately?
