laughing my butt off

If you ever have the chance, take some time to watch and listen to a 3-year-old kid playing. Today I sat listening to my son playing in his room, talking on his cell phone and asking his little brother to keep it down because he was trying to talk to his Aunt Sharon. His impatience soon turned to anger and he began to tell his baby brother to "stop it stupid Connor" (a new word he has recently learned from one of his young friends). Though he has learned his fair share of inappropriate saying from his mother as well, I asked him to come to my room and explained that he was not allowed to use that word anymore. I then sent him back to his room to use kind words with his brother. He proceded to say "Cute connor stop saying wah, wah. I am trying to talk on the phone." Then he came back into my room peering out from his yellow plastic contruction hat, Daddy's saftey goggles, while talking on his cell phone to let me know that he was not saying stupid anymore. I could not stop laughing. I think it would be excellent if it was really possible to "laugh my butt off" because if it was, living with a 3-year-old would make me one skinny mom. Maybe it is my lack of contact with the outside world that makes this all seem so funny to me maybe it's just or my "mother's heart", but I think if most of you had the chance to watch and listen you couldn't help but laugh at the stuff kids come up with.
