Ya Gotta Giggle..

Well my trickster of a son cracked me up again this afternoon I still smile when I think about it! As I sat doing homework with my two older kids. My son who is in Junior Infants has just started homework and is doing his letter sounds also known as ‘Jolly Phonics’. To our great surprise he has really taken to doing his homework and was asking for more work to do, so I came up with the bright idea of doing some word exercises with him . I wrote down a list of words that he could sound out
and try to read. Now these were simple basic words nothing too challenging it was just to encourage him after all. So off he went sat, mat, pig….bar, far and yes then came fart (yes I did write it on the list he was not reading it wrong!). The look on his face was priceless, he was utterly amazed that for one his mammy wrote the word fart and another he could read the word fart! and then the giggles, laughter and huge smiles started and carried on for ages. It really is the little things in life that make it all worth while.The fun we had this afternoon with the word fart, it is a memory that will stay with me forever. Both he and I got such a laugh out of one simple ‘bad’ word...boys eh! ya gotta giggle….
