Pooka told the girl (4yo) she looks cute, and the reply was, "That's what she said."

Motorcycle weaving passes the car at high speed in heavy traffic. Pete starts the highway safety speech as we have a new driver. Lil' Griff chimes in deadpan, "Maybe he has to stop a wedding."

Not a parent thing, but it was funny. We've been watching a documentary about the history of European settlement in Australia. The second episode dealt with Tasmania. Apparently, the whalers and sealers who came to the coast of Tassie were a particularly noxious bunch and kidnapped Aboriginal women for nefarious purposes. Anyway, I'd stopped the DVD just to check that everyone was clear what a whaler and a sealer was as it was fairly key. i.e. Trugannini, the apparently last full blood Tasmanian Aborigine saw her husband to be tossed overboard by these men and then witnessed his hands being cut off so that he would be unable to climb back into the boat. The fact that she negotiated with the British is attributed to seeing not only her fiancee, but also various other members of her family die violently. Anyway, that's preamble...we watched the DVD and the next class, I was checking how much had been retained, so I asked "what was the job of a sealer?" expecting the answer of "to catch seals". The answer that I got was "to take the women." Not sure whether to OR

My sister was putting on pants for my nephew this morning in the bedroom when I heard him yell out, "Ow! Don't pinch my wee wee!" I went in to see what happened. She said she hasn't even zipped up the zipper; she was just pulling up his pants and it must've pinched him somewhere.

The other day I heard my nephew yell in the bathroom, "Don't scratch my wee wee!" His mom was bathing him and must've scratched his wee wee while cleaning it.

Maybe all common stuffs you parents with boys out there, but I found it funny.

Ah, yes. We've been going through a phase recently. "My privates are long! How do we make them short again?!" He's really not a fan of this occurrence, though I'm sure he'll appreciate it as he gets older.

Thor is going to be Orion for Halloween this year. Discussing his costume last night, he was telling me all the names of the stars in the constellation, and I said "we could put a beetle on your right shoulder, next to Betelgeuse". "Why?" said Thor. "Because it might be sorta funny?"

Thor gives me a withering look and says "I'm not going for funny" and walks away.

He's maintaining artistic control.
