Completely Inappropriate Humor

*Disclaimer:  If you are easily offended or don't find somewhat inappropriate things absolutely hilarious.... this likely is not the post for you to read.  

Alright if you made it past the disclaimer, welcome.

Gavin.  2 1/2 years old and is really working on mastering the art of speaking.  His language skills have really skyrocketed in the past couple of weeks and it has just been a joy.  He speaks in two word phrases and then expects us to fill in the rest.  Some boring examples are:

"No, Mommy." (very standard)

"'Yay-yay', wake"  (translation:  Owen is awake).

"More hatty" (translation: I want to wear my hat)

In the past couple of weeks we have been busy with a contractor in house remodeling the main level.  He has just been great and Gavin REALLY enjoys him.  He is great guy and he also really enjoys all the boys.  His name happens to be Dick.  Which is where the inappropriate humor comes in.  Even as I think of all the examples over the couple weeks, I chuckle to myself.  Part of it is that Gavin speaks about everything with such a level of passion and excitement.... oh, just too funny.  So, some examples.

* Dick's truck and Marty's truck are nearly identical.  One day as we were pulling up to the house Gavin was trying to ask if it was Daddy's truck or Dick's truck parked in the driveway.  What came out instead was "Daddy's Dick, Daddy's Dick" over and over again....

* The last week of the remodel a plumber named Mike was here a few days.  Gavin was having a tough time saying Mike, so he renamed him "Two Dick".  And every time we saw him, Gavin would stop, point and yell "Two Dick"

* We made a few trips to Home Depot or Lowes during the remodel project.  Gavin would see tools that he thought looked like they should belong to the contractor.  He would go down the aisles yelling "MY DICK" (meaning, those belong to the contractor.... someone should really return them to him!).  It was so hard not to chuckle, but to just repeatedly tell him "It's okay Gavin, Dick has his tools at our house".... mainly just loud enough for the other patrons to hear so they would be less concerned about his word choices.

* Gavin has his first dentist appointment last week.  The prize he picked out was a tiny little monkey.  When we got back to the house, he wanted to show it to the contractor.  So, he ran up to the house yelling "MONKEY DICK, MONKEY DICK"

That's all.  You get the idea.  Maybe only really funny to me, but maybe it will make someone else laugh as well.  :)
