Big Bum

"Humour is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs." - Christopher Morley, Inward Ho

Tonight after supper, as Jason and I were enjoying a bit of post-consumption conversation, Jude excused himself from the table, and then presently came back and made this announcement:

"Mom, Dad! My went poop on the potty without using my hands!"

I laughed as Jason explained to me that this was a big deal for Jude today, that he could balance himself on the toilet seat without using his hands as ballasts.

Then Jude said, "Daddy have a big bum, Daddy no need hands!"

Laughing, Jason and I replied in the affirmative.

"Mommy have big bum, too!"

I hid a smirk, and Jason said, "I'm not going there."

What a wise, wise man I married.
