My son is silly. If you ask him a question, he answers with an overly dramatic voice. He also tries to speak Spanish. So when he is on the phone with my parents, he ends the conversation with Gracias and I love you. My favorite is how he tells me and my husband when we do something right. He says "Good job Mom." He was in a public bathroom with my husband and after they went to the bathroom he told my husband "Good job Dad." I can only imagine what the other men in the bathroom thought.

That's hysterical, Judith! How old is he?

Knowing some men, he could be anything between 6 and 45... which may amount to the same thing....!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Just kidding.... maybe....., <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

True, but he is 4 going on 30. Between him and his sister, I have a silly group on my hands. But he gets it honest. My grandfather was a joker too.

Oh yes, and because of Michael's Asperger's - he still hasn't completely outgrown his goofiness, even at 14! Although it is slowing down a bit now. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

But whenever he starts playing with the 3 yr old he will "entertain" him, and Auugh! I feel like just putting them all in a sound proofed, rubber padded room so they can bounce off the walls and make all the weird noises they want. Seth (3 yr old) of course thinks this is great! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I had another public goofball event with Thor the other day. We were at the beach and decided to go outlet shopping. We went into a store that was playing the Kool and the Gang song(?) "Celebrate". You know the one that says "Celebrate good times..." So my son yells out "Come On". I had no idea he even had heard this song, much less knew the words. I asked him about it and he said, "Oh they sing it on the Muppets".

LOL <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Looks like i have some hysterical times ahead... my son who is now 2 years old has an incredibly funny side to him that surprises me every day. When theres a toy thats not working properly hes say in an exasperated (spelling? lol) voice " AAHH broken" or if I'm doing crunches he'll see it as an opportunity to blow raspberries on my stomach, but my personal favorite is in the stores when passing by the toy aisle, if he even catches a glimpse of Cookie monster he'll do his very best imitation in his loudest voice, which of course makes everyone look at the crazy family who's in tears laughing at the goofy little boy in the shopping cart (who of course is looking like the cat who caught the canary right? because all eyes are on him and most of them are smiling

Yes I do, and I love every minute of it. My youngest son is a goofball and I don't think he will be growing out of it anytime soon. He takes after my Dad, who had a wonderful sense of humor.

Saga: That is tooooo funny!!!

Eva: It's nice to know they don't grow out of it...I sincerely hope my son will always have a silly side <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
