El Potato Loco

Oh boy! that son of mine. . .

The boys were making dinner the other night and Alex found a "deformed" potato. So rather than just peel it like a normal person - he decided to get creative. LOL

I come home from work, look in the window of the kitchen door and see this on the kitchen table. . .

and before I could even get in, I had to smile thinking to myself "what the. . .?" as I see Alex standing there next to this thing with a big old smirk on his face.
I come in the house and say jokingly, "what the heck?"
he says "It's El Potato Loco, Mom!"
I said "uhm okay, where did that come from" as I examined the likes of this character, and added "and WHY does he have a knife"
the response "I made him, and he is a Mexican Potato who is under attack" (and just in case ur wondering, that string is his "leash" due to vicious attacks. haha)
After the explanation and a good laugh, I had to get the camera, because this is one of those things that ur just NOT gonna see everyday!! That silly child o' mine!! :) gotta love that sense of humor.

P.S. later on that night... Alex tells me he needs to find aother potato, shaped like a "sumo wrestler" so they can battle! Do you think he needs therapy??

P.S.S. Bob (who may also need therapy lol) says to Alex "u would crap ur pants if u woke up in the AM to Mr. El Potato Loco on ur window sill next to ur bed!" o_O *insert scary music here* -- great parenting there Bob!
Alex replied, "yeah, Dad, cuz U would be the one to put him there!"
Can't fool this guy, can we? LOL
