Having lived with boys for 7 years, going on 8… I have discovered they laugh at the grossest stuff. Say underwear around boys… and they crack up laughing. One of the favorite books my kids read is “Chicken Butt” that we checked out of our local library. Don’t say “Guess What?” at our house or you’ll hear “Chicken Butt” in response.
While looking for some new humor to post, I found another book I’ll have to see if I can find… Walter the Farting Dog. I know my boys would love it. Just from the title. It says Fart. Another one of those instant laugh words.
It amazes me how different the boys are from the girls. I don’t care how carefully you raise your boys to be ‘generic’… I’m telling you… they will laugh at, shoot at, and make fun of things that are not the least bit funny to girls. Yep… I’ll just keep looking for books and other items to keep my boys laughing… knowing that most of them will just not be that funny to me. Though I do respond Chicken Butt to a lot of ‘Guess What’ questions from my kids.
Saw “Chicken Poop” lip balm yesterday and thought of you
Ok, there is NO WAY I would wear lip balm with that name.
“Chicken Butt”? Interestingly, that’s one of the pet names that my wife calls me by.
I wish I could remember the name of a book I saw at Barnes and Noble recently. It had a boy who wished on his birthday that his sister hadn’t been born. He started living life backwards, and there’s a hilarious picture of him on the toilet with a funny expression on his face…everything is going backwards! Your boys would probably like that one picture if nothing else.
