Noah's Ark

With all the focus on potty training around here, AJ's humor has a taken a turn toward bathroom related jokes. I was recently reading him a book about Noah's Ark that has the following lines:

"For forty days and forty nights
the rain fell around the clock.
The great flood covered all the land---
there was nowhere in sight to dock.

The ark was really crowded
and had begun to stink.
Noah prayed the rain would stop
and the ark would not sink."

No sooner had I read the line "and had begun to stink" when AJ demanded to know why it was stinky. I told him the first thing that came to my mind--"Well, all those animals had been pooping on the boat for 40 days." He stared at me, contemplating the awesomeness of all that animal poop and then began laughing uproarously. He loved reading that book just so he could supply the explanation as to why it was stinky--"Mama! It was stinky because all those animals were POOPING everywhere!!!" Potty humor. Giggle giggle giggle. Universal human fun in any culture.

Here is a photo of the book, which came with a cool little build your own ark. It is Snappy Builder Noah's Ark by Derek Matthews. I am pretty sure AJ's Grandma and Papa found it at Costco.
