In our little world with three growing boys, there's ALWAYS SOMETHING to smile about...
but usually only after we've given the initial blank stare with mouth WIDE open and no words coming out thinking "WHERE in the world did THAT come from!?!"

and then had a few moments to actually think it through...

Ogres

Child #3:  Mom.  I'm scared.
Me:  Oh?  What are you afraid of?
Child #3: The movie.
Me:  Why?
Child #3: It has a great, big ogre and you KNOW I'm afraid of ogres.
Me:  They're pretend, dear.
Child #3:  Yeah, but this one has been asleep for 10 years...
Me: Oh?
Child #3: ...and has been holding in all his gas!...
Me:  [flat toned and somewhat afraid of what's coming next] Oh.
Child #3:  ...and when he wakes up, he's gonna let it ALL out!

[sigh]
