It is one of the reasons that if everyone gets a bath, fully pajama-ed and teeth brushed they get to watch either America’s Funniest Home Videos or Wipe Out before bed.
Either of these shows is good for a three boy giggle fest. There is something about bodily harm being caught on tape that puts them in stitches.
Lately they have been favoring Wipe Out which is a bunch of adults running through a very ridiculous obstacle course.
All I can do is cringe.
And believe that I could do it faster, better and with a little more style.
Mom, would you go on Wipe Out?
Of course.
Really?
Oh ya.
We had that conversation while watching the show. The boys then commented on each obstacle and how I probably wouldn’t be able to do it. Ryan(9) kept pointing out what I SHOULD do in certain circumstances when I am a contestant.
Likely.
They went to bed dreaming of a humongous foam covered bat hitting me off of a shaving cream covered base into the water of questionable cleanliness.
The next morning on the way to school the conversation continued.
Reid(7): Mom, are you SURE you could win Wipe Out?
Me: Of course. I am scrappy.
Reid: Oh.
Just then I looked up in the rear view mirror and caught Ryan slowly closing his eyes and shaking his head back and forth…
Ryan: Mom, you aren’t scrappy.One of my favorite things to do is to hear my boys laugh.

Haha! My kids and I love Wipeout. Even more than the people getting pummeled by the Wiper Blades or landing awkwardly on the Big Balls, we love The Johns. Those two make us laugh so hard!
yes, we are easily amused.
You could totally win at Wipe Out! You should do it. How fun would that be?
My husband sent a video of me screaming and my whole family dying of laughter to America’s Funniest Home Videos last week. I have to admit, it is pretty funny!
