Abe (telling a ghost story): The kids walked into the old house, which was full of Devil worshippers. The Devil worshippers put the kids on a table and set them on fire. Wife: That's awful! Abe: What? They're evil!

So my eldest (5 yo) was peppering my wife with questions of the Why variety at dinner, and my wife eventually got tired of it. I said I could answer why questions.
Daughter: Why do girls have vaginas and boys have penises? (Really? The previous 5 questions were about the weather) Me: Because when they are grownups, they need those to make babies. Daughter: What if two women wanted to marry each other? Me: They could figure out a way. Daughter: What if two women wanted to make a baby. Me: They can't do that, you need one set of each parts. Daughter: What if you had two sets of each parts? Me: Then you might not be sure who the daddy was. Daughter: What?

Wife bugs me to teach our 6-year-old boy how to do subtraction problems. I think a moment, and say:
"You have a spaceship with 7 people on board, and one cat. An alien pops out of one of the people, and kills 5 more. What's left?"
Amid lots of giggling, he says, "One person, and one cat."
I say, "And?" silence. I finish, "And one alien, but good."
"Next subtraction question: You have a squad of 10 Space Marines, and their commander ordered them to take the bullets out of their guns. They walk into a nest of aliens. How many Space Marines are left?"
"Zero?"
"Very good. You understand subtraction just fine."
I am not kidding. I really asked him those question, just now.

The wife and I have had this verbal thing we have done for the last 20 years.... the usage of the phrase, "your mom's butt" to replace most any noun.
"Where is the thing I am looking for?" "Probably in your mom's butt."
So obviously the kid has heard us say that a lot.
So today:
Wife: Where should we go to eat?
Me: Doesn't really matter, all the places are in your mom's butt, anyway. Â If you go to Google Earth you can see your mom's butt without even having to zoom in all that much. Â It is the only manmade butt visible from space.
Wife: Â Yeah well your mom's butt is so big that we are inside it right now.
My 7 year old son: Â Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Â She said Mimi's butt is really big and it is!
I give him a look.
He stops laughing, looks at me, and says, "Metaphorically speaking, of course."

I never even knew he liked the sound of a banjo.
Time to watch Deliverance with him.
I would strongly advise against that. If he likes the banjo, he might get mad at Burt Reynolds killing those innocent rednecks just defending their land against Ned Beatty...
