Michael is a constant comedian. His teacher from first grade just knows he will be famous someday and the school councilor is convinced he will be like Jim Carey.
Most of the time, Michael knows he is being funny and can always be counted on to cheer your up. However, there are times, my favorite ones, where it just happens and you about wet your pants with laughter.
On our "Circus Trip", he had a couple
On the way up, Michael asked if we were still in "Iahoe". He said this with all seriousness. Sean said that there is an Iowa, an Ohio and an Idaho, but not "Iahoe". Thinking we misunderstood, Michael said "nnnnooo, IaHOE", I said they are only on the street. Sean started laughing and Michael said "what, I didn't hear you". I know, bad mommy!!!
We explained again we were in Iowa, long silence "oh".
On our way home, Sean had gotten off at an exit for KFC. We were driving along not finding KFC when Sean saw a place called "The USA Steak Buffet". He asks if that's ok and at this point in our journey, I really don't care. Michael yells from the back of the van, "man, this place looks FANCY". Again, he has Sean and me laughing as we pull up to park. You can see the neon signs that are inside and Michael says, "I told you it was fancy, look at the words". Now, we are really laughing and he just looks at us, straight faced and innocent and says "what, it is" while doing the palms up arms out straight body motion.
I wonder if he'll take me to the Oscars?
