Our family enjoys a good laugh. Most of the movies and tv shows we watch are comedies. I myself am a sucker for "The Office". I cannot get enough of great humor.
Doodlebug is also a fan and seems to have an affinity for slapstick comedy, especially "The Three Stooges". I can remember my dad watching old episodes and cracking up, however it wasn't exactly my type of humor. Lucky for me, my son loves it! We have almost the entire 3 Stooges collection on DVD and he has learned many of the phrases that made the show famous. He can often be heard imitating Curly's "nyuck, nyuck, nyuck" and "A wise guy eh?". He seems to be able to make these comments at the most inappropriate times, which to those not involved is hilarious. I must admit, I have found myself laughing hysterically when I am not shaking my head in frustration.
The latest Stooge humor happened the other night right before bed. I had my reading glasses on and Doodlebug asked why. I explained that they helped me see better and prevented my eyes from hurting. My answer seemed to pacify him, but when I least expected it, he calmly said, "A wise eye eh?". I burst out laughing and he smiled knowingly; his mission had been accomplished. He succeeded in making me laugh and bedtime was postponed another 5 minutes. He will do whatever it takes to get out of going to bed on time and this occasion was no different. At least this time it ended with laughter instead of tears.
