Evil Genius and The Brain

I believe that people are just born with the ability to instinctively know how to push the right buttons, in more ways than one. My husband, of course, knows how to get on my last nerve. And my son.....well, his button pushing, although often nerve racking, is usually more physical. I believe he was born an evil genius. He has the innate ability to always know the right button to push on any electrical device to cause maximum chaos. Even now as I type one handed, I'm doing my best to counter attack his stealthy ninja keyboard moves.

Daddy, you're about to finally beat level 25 on Candy Crush? Let me help you waste a move!

What's that mom? You're waiting to see if Eric Northman is going to survive the season finale of True Blood. I'd rather you not know! CLICK...Oops, the TV lost power. How'd that happen? (Stop to pose) Don't I look cute?

I don't care if you're on an important call Dad....I will be heard! (followed by loud babbling and usually the stealthy pushing of END CALL)

Each of these is usually followed by threats, and then usually laughter because he thinks it's all hysterical.....and then he gives you the "I'm so cute" face and you can't help but laugh even though you're livid and everyone says "Don't laugh, it will only make it worse" which it, in fact, does! And nothing works to foil this evil genius' plans!

NOTHHHHHHHIIIIIIINNNNG!!!!

Now, if Jaxin is the evil genius of the family, I guess that makes my husband The Brain (I'm clearly dripping in sarcasm here). His brain definitely works in a unique way. He's one of those people who's thoughts don't always translate well into the English language....or probably any language, for that matter. I love him, but God help him. Some of the crap he comes up with and says.....I just don't get it. Let's take this outfit, for example:

This little doosy was something he dreamt up one day when I asked him to go under the house to inspect some work that had been done. It's like a bad Cee-Lo Green superhero outfit! A few days ago, we're checking out movies On Demand and this conversation happened.

Rick: What's Virgin Tales about?

Me: A family that believes in the value of Purity Balls

Rick: Purity balls? Is that those things girls put in their...?(He points to his crotch)

Me: Eww, noooo. That's Ben Wa Balls!!

Conversations like this happen pretty much daily. If you've ever read any of my other posts, you know. But, he is a good daddy. Like, he was ok the time Evil Genius decided to help The Brain pick his nose.

And he was good the first time Evil Genius got in a pool

And these boys have always had nap time in common!

I love my little button pushers. The two of them make me crack up every day. They both drive me nuts at times but they keep it interesting, especially when they push each others buttons. Let me leave you with a final few photos of these two in action.

HAHAHAHA Ok and this one cracks me up because this is a "Hey, look at the camera" moment and they're both pushing each other's buttons. It looks like The Brain has Evil Genius in a choke hold. Fear not, that's not the case.
