You may be more familiar with the Shin-Chan reference if you’ve been watching Adult Swim lately or you’re an anime fan. Anyway, when Helen told me about her sons’ antics with Photo Booth, the iMac’s built-in iSight camera and her bed, I was laughing for a while. Talk about an unexpected use of Apple technology! Until I received the pictures, I had been impressed with the boys’ timing since the software only has a three-second countdown. Either Helen doesn’t know the definition of mooning or I misunderstood her, I’ll go with the latter because she’s my friend and not clueless on slang. Helen is puzzled as to why her boys are obsessed with this. I had to reinforce what Paul has said, mooning is a classic of male humor at any age. Right there with farting and slipping on banana peels.
Hmm, mooning attempt or parody of George Michael?
Paul must be present to give the boys some helpful pointers. I recall he was quite an expert in the dorms while in college.
OK, maybe it is not traditional mooning, but what do you expect from two guys that are six and eight years old? I mean this is from the two kids who came home to tell me that the learned the “C” word at school and then when pressed about it guiltily confessed what word it was…”Crap.”
