Man/Kid Logic.....

I have to tell you that one of the things that surprises me most about being a parent is how seriously funny my kids are. Not that they are the only funny ones... I'm often laughing out loud at stories told between myself and fellow Mama's, about the things/actions of their kids as well. I also love kid logic. It's a small step, but not too distant leap, from Man Logic.

For example: the other day Jack tells me (as I'm putting him in the van) "Momma, do the rocket ship!" (mental roledex... rocketship... not sure I know that one) "What's the rocket ship?" I say. He trys to explain and I don't understand. He becomes upset but we eventually move on. I later ask Joe...."Hey honey, do you know what 'rocket ship' is?" Joe laughs and takes me out to the van with Jack in tow. (now that I've started the story I'm wondering if I will be able to describe this correctly...bare with me... I may just go take video and post that)

Rocket ship is where Jack sits in his seat and Joe goes to the back of the van and pulls 2 levers (our van's back row has a stow and go seat set) Joe then tilts Jack's seat backwards (with him in it) backwards and buckles him up making sure it's all tight and then says "3,2,1 blast off" and tips Jack forward for what I'm sure is a great head rush.

How did this game come to life you ask?

Because Joe was too lazy or smart enough (you decide) to find a way to go around the whole issue of climbing in the back of the van on his knees and getting to the far corner to buckle Jack, which is kind of annoying but we needed the other space for other stuff.

Either way some of Joe's Man Logic is genious... other stuff is not so much :0). I very much intend to include some kid logic but the babe is up and needing to nurse.

P.S. On day 3 of going #2 on the toilet... that's all I will say for fear of jinxing it. Keep your fingers crossed!!
