I am happy to report that Eamon continues his study of comedy, but has decided to infuse it with his own special geeky twist.
Hence, this joke the other day:
EAMON: Stop sign, daddy! Stop sign octagon!
DADDY: Yep, a stop sign is an octagon.
EAMON: Octagon three sides, Daddy!
DADDY: Um…
EAMON: Haha! Octagon three sides! Eamon CWAZY!
You might remember my hope that Eamon would one day find this particular ion joke funny. I think we are well on our way, folks. Any two year old who finds the idea of a 3-sided octagon hysterical…well, that is a two year old after my own heart.
And let me just say, thank goodness he’s such a cute little guy. Maybe it will (somewhat) help to offset the budding nerdiness. In the meantime, Eamon Wolfe, I find you absolutely adorable and hysterical, even if you have a sense of humor that only a(n equally nerdy) mother could love.
UPDATE:
I record these toddler ideas of a joke not because they necessarily belong in the golden tomes of comedy classics beside "Take my wife...please" but because I want to give VH1 plenty of material when they do the Behind the Comedy of Eamon Wolfe's life. And I didn't feel like this particularly deserved its own blog entry, but it amused me highly with its sophisticated sense of word play (lies; it's entirely unsophisticated, but it amused me anyway):
ME: I love you, Eamon Wolfe.
EAMON: No Eamon Wolfe! No!
ME: You're not Eamon Wolfe?! Then who are you?
EAMON: Eamon.
ME: So you're sticking with the first name. Good choice. But...Eamon who?
EAMON: Eamon...DUCK! Quack, quack! Ha ha! Eamon CWAZY!
So yes, folks, in one fell swoop, Eamon 1) made a joke about his own name, therefore proving that if any classmates try to make fun of it in a few years, Eamon will probably have about a thousand possible ways to one-up them ala last 5 minutes of 8 Mile, making them look like childish amateurs for even attempting to tease him; and 2) has gone and invented himself a tag line. Expect to see his memoir of that title in about 30 years, and I guess I should go ahead and snap up www.eamoncwazy.com while I'm at it. Thank you and goodnight.

OH oh! I am so excited! Can I help too?!?!!? There are Pi jokes. When can I start him on Star Wars? My other Kate has definite ideas on that, but who knows? I guess Harry Potter could be sooner. I love welcoming a new geek into the fold. It's like Christmas!
You can start him on Star Wars any time you can get him to sit still long enough to watch it. My only requirement is that you stick with Episodes IV, V, and VI because REALLY. We might have better luck getting him hooked on Star Wars if we can convince him that the banthas are dinosaurs.
