I still get things like, "Mommy, say boogely-boogely!" I say it, and they laugh like the little crazed monkeys they are.<BR/><BR/>I remember asking my mom if a human being could actually live in a whales stomach after they'd been swallowed. It still annoys me that she kept saying, "It won't ever happen" instead of telling me the details of the effects of digestive fluids on skin.

"What do you get when you cross an eye ball and some ketchup??? A smashed eye ball on your face! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I figured we struck gold when my son discovered backward jokes. They actually use the brain, and that I can appreciate enough to muster a laugh for them.<BR/><BR/>Backward jokes follow this formula:<BR/>"Mom, what goes Moorv, moorv?

I am a little to worry that I have so many more years to go. <BR/><BR/>Our current jokes either end with "Because there's poop on the road" or "because the chicken ________ (fill in with fell down, crossed the road, whatever the joke is about)". Two seconds later, there is the requisite "Is that a funny joke Mom?" My answer? Yes, honey. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and the Chinese water torture? What is up with that??? AGGGGHHHH.
