Contrary to the title, this is not about bowel movements and headlights.

I don't know how many of you have heard of Mad Libs but they are a popular item in my household. I probably have no less than four that are in the back of my car, along with a various assortment of pencils to fill them in. At any given time, the girls will pull one of them out of the pocket in the back seat and I will hear: "Give me a noun, give me an adjective; give me an adverb, etc." I'm not proud to admit that when we started in with these I actually had to look up what some of the definitions were (adverbs, adjectives). It had been so long since I have had to identify basic sentence parts that my mind was rusty. Go ahead and laugh while I just roll my eyes and put my lack of memory down to being old and having children. Or something.

We play this game almost every time we are in the car, rocking out to various artists that my kids love, and I, for the life of me, can never remember the names of. Yesterday it suddenly occurred to me that in almost every one of these that the kids fill out, the words "constipation and/or boobs(ies)" are used. Sure enough, when the girls looked through the book, we found that to be true 80% of the time. They then proceeded to read every one of them to me again.

I'm not sure if this is a reflection of my parenting or that my children are crazy. I'm voting for the latter and then calling my mom to apologize about the title. I'll also thank her for not killing me before I became an adult.
