Ishmael Pax – my wildly embarrassing son

Pax and I went to the children’s theater on Friday. I sat in my seat and realized I felt really nervous. It’s happened too many times that Paxy does something wildly rude to be funny. I’m always wondering what or who is going to catch his eye.

The show started and it was great. Pax thought it was so funny and was adorably laughing out loud. It was about music and talking with each other without words. The performer invited anyone who wanted to, to come up on stage and perform with him. Paxy went up, of course.

All the kids were clapping and stomping. The performer said, “can anyone come up with a funny sound?” (it felt like he was asking for it with this one) So Paxy made a fart sound and the performer laughed and added a fart sound to the clapping and stomping. The he said, “anyone else?” Paxy yelled out, “POOP”! The performer laughed and added the word poop in with the clapping and stomping and farting. He asked again (none of the other kids were coming up with anything, so at least I can say that my son was very engaged and interesting). Paxy yelled out, “THE SOUND OF A BUTTHOLE RUBBING AGAINST MY FACE”! The performer didn’t add that sound in.

Later, I asked Pax what he had expected the performer to do with that suggestion. He said that he thought the guy was going to say, “rub rub rub rub rub”.

  1. That sentence that will live on in your family lore for all time (unfortunately). So creative though! Rub rub rub
