Max Busboom

Cacootin: definition unknown.

Dad: Max, what do you know about correlation? Max: It does not imply causality.

Of course, his tediously intellectual father taught him that, and as a result, there is now a 4 year old who knows more than you about economics, science and politics.

Bomminitin: A naked baby butt.

Wackin baby: The person who is “it” in a long-term game of tag. Usage:

Who is the wackin baby? Mommy is the wackin baby.

Occan-dingdong: In a children’s book, character who is drawn facing the reader. Usage:

That’s an Occan-dingdong. The rain babies are like an occan-dingdong. A strommel baby.

Mom: Max, please don’t yell in the house. Max: Max is using his forte voice!

Max greets his mother in the morning:

Gargole, Gorgon and Soy sauce.

I’m looking at my belly button. Omphaloskepsis!

Dad is one of those obnoxious NPR-listening, wood-toy-buying, balsamic-vinegar-sprinkling, tweed-jacket-wearing parents that teaches his kid absurd words.

Boneman is a 30cm tall plastic skeleton with rubber guts. ( But in our bobo family, we would not say “guts” any more than eat iceberg lettuce. ) Max found boneman, but not his intestines:

Where is the squeaking viscera? I can’t find the squeaking viscera!

That’s not a crunch-house. That’s a Baby!
