Beautiful Two-Word Combinations, Immature and Otherwise
After weeks of mounting evidence, I came to the conclusion last night that if you want to get our youngest son (who will turn 4 on Monday!) to laugh, all you have to do is say STINKY BUTT. Blame it on his two older brothers and the potty humor that reigns in my household, but STINKY BUTT represents the ne plus ultra of word combinations for a certain preschooler. Really, there are no two more wonderful words in the language than STINKY BUTT. If you are nearly 4, that is.
Being much older than nearly 4, I can actually think of quite a few that I would put ahead of S.B., in terms of beauty, promise, joy, loveliness. They are:
NEW CAR
SPRING MORNING
AFTERNOON OFF
OPEN BAR
CHERRY PIE
ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE
LABRADOR PUPPY
GRIPPING NOVEL
SISTERLY DEVOTION
FRESH PAINT
BIRTHDAY PARTY
TAX REFUND
EMPTY BEACH
LONG DINNER
NO MEETINGS
LAUGHING KIDS
Which brings me back to STINKY BUTT. And if I'm in the right frame of mind, that one makes me laugh too.
