It must be genetic. All boys are born with that, "dumb things crack me up" gene. K.Z. is using Hooked on Phonics for part of his Language Arts program. Since we bought the whole set they sent us a free cd-rom game to help reinforce what he is learning. It is a really neat game that he progresses in level by level and is quite educational. All the games revolve around the words he is currently learning.
In one of the games, the main character "Pop Fox" is at a restaurant ordering "words" for dinner. He says the word he wants to eat and the player, as a waiter, uses the mouse to drag the correct word onto his tray to serve to "Pop Fox". In return "Pop Fox" noisily chomps the word and thanks the waiter with some canned compliment reiterating the word he was just served. Still with me? Here is where it involves the previously stated gene.
K.Z. was playing the game involving the waiter serving words instead of food when I hear him snicker and exclaim, "he said butt!". I was sure that he was not laughing because of "but", the very common conjunction used in every day life which was the actual word, but (and there it is again) because he thought it referred to the lower posterior of the body. I went in to investigate when "Pop Fox" heartily thanked the waiter for the meal by saying, "What a great but!"
