Comic Relief Randomness

I get many moments of comic relief from my children. Here are two stories from yesterday that caused me to laugh. The first story is very random. The second story was a result of a YouTube video.

1. My youngest was walking into the room. Upon entry, the following completely random discussion took place:

Kid: "Do you know what would suck?"

Me: "What?"

Kid: "If you were proposing and had to go to the bathroom because of diarrhea in the middle of it."

2. The same lovely child was watching different clips of the "Irish Drinking Song" from the t.v. show "Who's Line is it Anyway?". One of the songs was about ugly women that you wake up to after a morning, of well you know. One of the cast likened the girl to Jamie Farr. The following is a synopsis of the conversation that followed:

Kid: "Who is Jamie Farr?"

Me: "Do you remember the show M.A.S.H.?

Kid: "Yes."

Me: "Do you remember Corporal Klinger, the dude that always wore dresses do try and get out of the army?"

Kid: "Yes."

Me: "That is Jamie Farr."

Kid: "Ewwwwww, he is one ugly guy and would make even an uglier girl!"

Now the even funnier part is this is the same kid that has no idea how to use a rotary phone (as described by this story):

"My youngest was ill. Do to his illness, he was up all night doing things that sick children do when they are sick (you do not want more details than that). I decided I would share one of my favourite shows with him from when I was younger than just happened to be on the Space Channel. This show is the Hilarious House of Frightenstein. There is one point in the show where people "call in". They use these old rotary phones, well because its an old show. My darling child looks at me half way through the segment and asked, "Mom, how do you use those phones?""

yet he totally gets a M.A.S.H. reference even if he did not recognize the actor's name.
