Although my hubby would probably argue that he is full of wit and humor, some of us might beg to differ. But some days, I wonder where our 3-year old gets his sense of humor from.
Probably like any 3 year old, Aidan loves reciting a few of the famous lines from the Three Little Pigs. The part where the wolf wants to get into the house. So we take turns being the wolf and pig. We'll have to repeat the lines over and over until I can think of something creative to distract him with.
Yesterday, Aidan took a creative approach to the wolf's role of huffing and puffing. He lugged his ball popper next to the chair I was sitting in and once again, started reciting the big bad wolf's line, and I followed with "not by the hair of my chinny chin chin". Then he armed himself with his ball popper as if it were a bazooka, aimed it at my hair, and turned it on. You can imagine his peals of laughter as he fired the air from the ball popper at me while he tried to recite through his giggles, "then, I'm gonna huff, and puff, and blow your house down". How did I end up with such a prankster for a child?
Maybe all the credit goes to Despicable Me, which we had just watched a day earlier, with all of their big, bulky, piranha guns, squid guns, and inflatable Vector guns. Now we have the big, bad Huff & Puff Forced Air gun. You should get one. It plays a silly tune that will make your youngster scream and giggle while it huffs and puffs your house down.
