nine-year-old humor

carter's out of school today. (presidents day/teacher planning day--really, i just think the teachers needed a break and they needed to decontaminate the classrooms from all the sickness going around lately.)

it's been fun with both boys--they've played well together while i was at work. we had a picnic lunch in our family room. (they 'cooked' for their webkinz and they joined us for the picnic too.) helped carter with some homework...

but today, i've been reminded that nine-year-olds have a very different sense of humor than well...the rest of the world. saying the same nonsense syllable over and over and over and over and over is funny. asking to watch a movie (high school musical two) and then covering your eyes and plugging your ears for the 'girly' moments (which is pretty much most of the movie) is funny. asking the same question when i've said 'no' over and over and over and over and over is funny. looking over your mom's shoulder why she is blogging and correcting typos is funny, singing goofy songs while getting between my eyes and the computer monitor is funny. oh...the list could go on and on and on... (we won't even go into bodily functions at this point.)

observation of the day: nine-year-olds are a breed all unto themselves.
