And for the most part, boys and men behaved well around me because I was a girl.
And then I had boys.
Lots of boys. Three if you are keeping track at home.
What I have found is that I have lived my whole life without knowing the secret to comedy.
The laugh sweet spot.
The key to the funny bone.
Through careful observation and extensive male research I have found that boys are born with this knowledge. Some keep it to themselves behind smiles, while others share it freely with belly laughs.
My boys feel the need to share it freely.
Freely as in all the time.
All the time as in even when their loving mother threatens them within an inch of their life.
But the comedy can not stop even for time-outs and spankings.
The show must go on.
What is this funny secret that lies on the Y chromosome?
Any word can be made into a hilarious joke by adding the word butt.*
Go on.
Try it.
*There also seems to be bonus comedy karma points awarded if you can orchestrate the delivery of the side-splitting lines by someone age 3 and under.
Which explains why Rhett(3) runs through the house screaming “butt train!” to the utter delight of his brothers who are literally rolling on the floor with laughter.
Literally.

Okay, butt train is pretty funny, you have to admit. The key comedy word around here is “fart.” Yep. That’s the one!
At my house, fart rivals butt for top comedic spot.
Ok, I guess because I grew up with two brothers, married one large boy, and then after 7 years with just one little girl was blessed with two darling boys, I found “butt train” so funny I almost rolled off my char.
Now we are just on the verge of buttdom here. My boys(1 and 3) love “booty” or “boooooeeeeey!! as my 1 year old says. They use this word kind of like “Smurf”. Verb, Noun, Adjective, Adverb. There is nothing that can’t be described with a little booty. Just last night, for example, “Hey mom! I don’t like spaghetti, it tastes like booty! It has booty sauce on it! I’m not eating this booty!” The one year old fell off his chair laughing. the three year old had a lecture and toast for dinner…
Boy I can’t wait till we upgrade to ass, my husband will get a kick out of that!
Butt rubber is the new inside joke for my husband and me. I can’t even explain how it came about and it is not as dirty as it sounds. But all we have to do is text it to each other and laughs are guaranteed.
Let me warn you that one day, in the not to distant future, they will replace the word “butt” with the word “dick.” Now they will understand that they shouldn’t say it in FRONT of you, but you may need to remind them that you can actually hear things said in the pool table room when you are in the living room. I’m just sayin’!
Yes, boys are great butt joke people. I should know, I live with 3 of them. Only 2 of are of the small variety.
You Are Not Alone. Butt jokes reign supreme over here at the Jubilant household. My five year old daughter is the most frequent offender (so to speak), but she got it from her brothers, I am sure of it.
lol…this is hilarious
Butt train is HILARIOUS…and yeah….the boys have me trained well.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret: if your nearly-three-year-old daughter has a big brother, from whom she learns the mysterious principle of butt hilarity, the jokes may be even funnier. Somehow, when the butt jokes come from a sweet little girl face capped with tiny braids, even five year olds get cracked up by the apparent contradiction.
