This afternoon, I found Cortlen crying on the sofa.
"What's up?" I asked as I plopped down next to him. While I waited for his reply, I began flipping through a stack of mail.
"I'm hearing voices," he told me.
I put down the mail.
"What kind of voices?" I asked.
"Bad ones."
"What do they say?" I wanted to know.
"They tell me to do something that I don't want to do," he answered.
"Like what?" I prodded. By this point, I was quite concerned.
"They tell me to say the word 'poopie' really loud." He covered his mouth to stifle a giggle.
"All right," I said, standing up. At the same time, my son collapsed on the floor in a fit of hysterics.
"Way to stay strong," I commended, as a symphony of fart sounds emanated from his armpit.
Six-year-old boys rock.

What a trickster! I was totally concerned for a minute...
Ah, the potty humor stage. I remember it well. Favorite words at this stage for my son:
poopie
butt
bootie
underwear
fart
bra (which he discovered by looking at the JcPenney catalog underwear pages with his little friend.)
Finally I'm reminded of a stage I don't miss....
Too funny! I'm totally NOT jealous of your life!
I don't think boys ever really get over potty humor. Noah started giggling at poop and butt when he was in preschool, he still does it in first grade and I noticed the other day that his father finds these things funny too. He's 37.
we are deep in that stage now.
so. much. fun.
Wait till they hit 10. The armpit farts gain volume each year...
Oh yes, it's just the beginning...these things simply get funnier with age. And really, that was pretty darn funny!
Boys will be boys... Too funny!
HA HA HA!! I love your blog :) I don't comment much, but I read every day...and laugh every day! Your kids are so funny.
Love this one. From the mom of one six-year-old boy to another, I get it ... and am smiling!
That really is funny! Something about boys and farting, burping, stinking, etc. I have four of them...it is a lovely smelling sounding place!!
Haha! This is too funny!!! Boys never grow out of potty humor!
Lol! Okay.. well I guess those voices aren't too bad :)
I swear, I have the sense of humor of a 4th grade boy - any mention of "poopie" and I, too, collapse in a fit of laughter. Too, too funny.
Your blog cracks me up! I love it!
Funny, they NEVER outgrow it!
Ok, I got a little scared for you for a minute. Boys will be boys, right?
I can't stop laughing. THANK YOU!

Oh my gosh, his voices know my kids too. And here they also say things like "What would happen if you turned your grape juice cup upside down and shook it around?" I hate the voices. Hate them.
This is cute. When I was about his age I confessed everything that popped into my head, including thinking the "c-r-a-p" word and "h-e-l-l" when I heard it from classmates at school. I told my parents EVERYTHING bad that I thought and that I did. I'll be honest, they got tired of it but I'm glad they nurtured my conscience by letting me "confess." :) Maybe he really needed to confess to you and then realized it was silly.
So funny! I love little boys!! You never know what they will say or do!!
Oh man...not looking forward to the potty language. It is just getting started around our house. I guess it can't be as bad as the bossy mouth older sisters right?
Man, I was thinking '6th Sense' here...what a relief that he is normal and just as annoying as every other boy!!! My 4 y.o. frat twins don't know any other language besides 'potty mouth'!!
This stage never ends! I was in the airport with my 17 YO daughter the other day and she was reading a sign about your "duty" as a passenger and called my attention to it and had me read it out loud. And of course she said, "I made you say 'doo-dy!'" This is my Honors College child!
Kids!!
OH and the 17 YO boy has given up arm farts for REALLY loud real ones. Which he finds hilarious. Gross.
He Gotch ya!!!...
I just found your blog, and it's hilarious! Love!
I'm a lurker but just had to comment! That made me laugh. Believe it or not, I miss that stage of innocent humor with my boys!
That's hilarious! Can he burp the alphabet yet? My 12 year old daughter wins that one in our house!
and so begins the life of a boy well on his way to practical jokes. hahaha Love it.
6 year old boys are awesome, for sure. Lucky for you it doesn't stop at 6. Mine are 10 and 12 right now. The goodness just keeps going and going.
At least he keeps you entertained.
This is so funny! I think farts are hilarious too! (I'm 35) I have two boys-5 and 7, and a 2 year old girl. We also have a remote control fart machine we got as a dirty Santa gift for Christmas last year. The boys think it's great but my baby girl cries when it farts. :-P
I was totally concerned for a minute...
