It's a Bird, It's a Plane... It's a BOOBY!

.
So we've been reading a lot of books about Columbus and Pilgrims lately. While snuggling in bed yesterday afternoon we were reading this library book called "Animals Christopher Columbus Saw". That's where the trouble began.
.
I read aloud...
.
"On September 17, Columbus saw bunches of green weeds floating on the waves. Two days later a booby landed on the ship. The sailors were excited!"
.
Oh boy, you know where this is going don't you?
.
Following many squeals and laughter by everyone, this came out of the big brother's mouth...
.
"all hail the booby!"
.
{insert extreme laughter here}
.
"Land Ho, I see a booby!"
.
{giggles and squeals}
.
"Mr. Boombastic, I see a booby!" (sung to the tune of the song)
.
{where does this kid come up with these things?}
.
"It's a plane, it's a bird, it's a booby!"
.
{oh the squeals were in full force now!}
.
"booby, it's what's for dinner"
.
And I'm sure you know his quick come back when I read the sentence, "And the sailors were excited".
.
"Of course they were. There was a booby on board!"
.
Oh how I love this boy!
.
This was much needed laughter in our home. We found out that morning that my Grammy had passed away, so the laughter gave us a good break from all the saddness we were experiencing. I'll post more about her soon.
.
In the meantime, have a blessed day!
