5. The Power of Stink

I read that a child’s sense of humor needs to be developed. This came as a surprise to me.

As a parent, I have always goofed around with my children.

I do not consider myself particularly funny, but I do seem to have a natural knack of making people laugh.

Being receptive to Michael’s silliness has clearly helped his sense of humor.

One day, as I was putting on deodorant, Michael asks me “Mama, whatcha doing?”

“I am putting on deodorant. I don’t want to get stinky armpits.”

I then asked, “Do you have armpit stink?”

Michael thinks about it for a second, “I have butt stink.”

Now what do I say to that? After all, it is true.
