"the goofy read"

Lately at bedtime, Chloe has been asking Abby to head her books. That's because Abby does "the goofy read". She chooses words throughout the book to change into something funny. Sometimes it's words like: fart, eyeball, pit sweat, foot stink, pickle juice... Sometimes it's words like: gothabalkablish, kafly-cala, flookinkiki, etc.
I'm telling you, sometimes it gets so funny we are all three laughing to tears, especially when, in her haste to come up with something quickly, Abby says a word that's especially funny to us adults. Then she tries to cover it up a bit and bring it back to kid level. Once she said boobie tassels. Chloe had no idea. In last nights book, the main character "put his sandwich keychain in the bathtub so it would grow".
We are thinking about getting some mad libs and starting to teach Chloe about nouns and verbs. She'll eat it up. I absolutely adore watching the two of them play and interact. I have a permanent smile when they are goofing off. We cherish our time as a family, even if it's just a couple hours before bed.
