How to make your child happy for about twenty minutes

If you ever find yourself in need of rendering a young child completely, unabashedly hysterical, here’s whats yous gots to do.

Simply take your average run-of-the-mill Mr. Potato Head. Turn him upside, and place body parts accordingly. Declare him Fred.
Then encourage the child to wear Fred’s glasses. And watch while the child loses all control over his/her senses. Child will not be able to contain the laughter that starts deep in their belly and rises up out of their smile shaped mouth. They will be drooling with happy spit (No worries. That is to be expected).
The child will then stammer “poison, poison, poison!” in between hearty giggles. And when you ask them why they are saying "poison", they will reply, “Because it’s just too funny for me to handle. It’s like poison!”

Or maybe that’s just what happens to a certain child I know, when the above scenario is placed before him.

Lol, at least it lasted twenty minutes. Now you'll have to find something new for him to laugh about. I enjoyed the blog.

Rainee-yes I think 20 minutes is a fortunate amount of time.

Jenny-Winter mayhem is the worst! For everyone involved. Fred is still garnering happy moments around here so you should definitely try it yourself.
