Best dad ever

So I thought G would never top this, but he's gone and done it.

He's been reading Captain Underpants to the boys this week. I actually bought it for them. I've heard its inappropriateness discussed in various Mormon mommy situations. I don't really have a problem with it. I knew my kids would love it. And they did.

Then tonight, G was getting dressed to go to the gym. And suddenly I heard, "Da-ta-DAH!" There he was in whitey tighteys with a red fleece blanket tied around his neck. And, you know, he shaves his head, so he had the bald thing going, too. He is a lot skinnier and hairier than what you see on the cover here, but it was still a recognizable likeness. And he went in to where the boys were watching Looney Tunes and started flipping their own miniature whitey tightey underwear at them.

Can you say little boy heaven?

I so badly wanted to take a photo and post it on this blog, but I thought that might be going a little too far, even for me, whose life is more or less an open book. Husband in underwear, not even I will do. So sorry.

In this case, I think the "inappropriateness" of the book is really the adults saying "I don't like it" about the book. Boys love it - kids love it - here in Australia too!

Please tell me you took a photo of your boys for your own records!!!!

Yes, I got that Bek, and all because of you! And we snarfed it all last night watching movies. Yum yum!!! I do need to figure out when to visit you ... maybe in October sometime. These fostering classes are sucking up all our Saturdays for a while. Oh yeah, can you tell I'm excited?

I am seriously laughing like crazy.

I remember when Captain Underpants came out...how much some little guys in my classroom loved him.

The thought of a grown man dressing up like him...just flat out hilarious! I think you need a picture for future generations to laugh at!

Thanks for sharing.
