I Heart Faces–Bust a Gut

 

 

In our home, laughter is the great equalizer.

 

I’m deaf, and crack deaf jokes all the time.

Mr. Daddy is a redneck and cracks redneck jokes all the time.

Itty Bit is a kindergartener, and he… well… he’s just innately hilarious.

 

Time to brush your teeth honey.

But Mommmmmyyyy…

What honey?

I have narcolepsy.

(snore)

Eat your dinner honey.

Mommy… Watermelon gum makes you lose your muscles.

What?

Watermelon gum makes you lose your muscles.

What?

Yes it does.  Blake in my class told me so.

But honey…

Mommy!  You said a bad word!  You said BUTT!

No I didn’t, I said “but”, it’s diff…

BUTT IS A BAD WORD!  YOU SAID A BAD WORD!

 

 

Heaven help us.  We may die of laughter here.

 

But it’s always wonderful to see the huge grin that accompanies his oversized laugh.  No hearing impairment can get in the way of “hearing” the laughter coming out of this kid.  Can’t you hear it too? :)

My dad always sang to me "She's got freckles on her but, she's pretty." I would shriek "no I don't" of course b/c I thought he meant butt.

OK, so I'm way far behind on commenting even though I have read every blog post you've written. And now I'm going to comment backwards because that's how I roll. Or something like that.

I love this shot of Itty Bit. I can so hear that high-pitched giggle that only little kids have. And seriously? The "butt" conversation- HILARIOUS!

The fact that he knows the word narcolepsy is very impressive. Of course, more impressive is that you can pretty much "hear" his laughter from that picture. :)
