You Can't Make This Stuff Up

Tonight, while I was reading Rakes "If You Give A Moose A Muffin" before he went to bed, I noticed he was unusually quiet.

I chalked it up to the late hour, him waking up at 6 this morning, and all the planets were aligned and it was going to be a quiet night.

As I finished the book, he giggled, looked up at me, and uttered the following:

"Dad. Look at my ear inside my ear".

It's going to take a small miracle for him not to appear in an episode of "Jackass" someday.

    His ear, Tex. He bent it to fit inside his ear.

    The boy is nuts.

    well at first thats what i thought...but then i thought it was a carrot.
    Seriously...Rakes is going to be just fine. He'll have his teachers laughing and be voted the class clown.

    I can only hope, Tex.

    Although he is good for several laughs a night.

    I can only imagine the trepidation with which you obliged his request.

    By the way, I love that series of books! It is one of my all-time favorite collection of children's books.

    It's a scary world sometimes, Dawn.

    And he'd let me read those books to him 24/7.

    Thanks, man. Since you've got to read them a million times it's good to find one that you don't hate.

    FANTASTIC PICTURE!

    Finally, a word verification I can comment on: "boose". But it probably meant "moose" ;)

    Boose. Sounds like Trot trying to pronounce something, Sarah.
