Age Appropriate Absurdity

Kids really do say the darnedest things. As evidenced the other night when I overheard a Chapel Roan inspired bath time ditty, goin’ something like, “I’m gonna get in the bathtub with my pink shiny butt.” 

And though their meal time repertoire can  often feel like algebra (secret healthy + elevated bar food = ???); their appetite for the silly, absurd, and random is a blue sky of endless possibility. SO, to that end, have been slowly but surely introducing little comedy gems that are proving surprisingly evergreen. Weird Al’s “Another One Rides the Bus” was a big hit; and, though definitely for older kids, the girls were cry-laughing over 90s SNL absurd-classic, “Toonces the Driving Cat”. Now, I’ll just have to bide my time until they’re old enough to watch ALL 250 OF BFI’S SIGHT AND SOUND GREATEST FILMS OF ALL TIME ON THE CRITERION CHANNEL.
