Now on DVD

“I hafta pee!” stated my son as he popped in a DVD to watch with his sister.  He ran to do his business, and when he got back, all that was playing were the commercials on the DVD, and not the movie he wanted to watch.  Mocking the announcer, he said, “Now I don’t have to pee, on DVD and video.  Watch me pee, on DVD and video.”  I almost did a spit take. 

I have determined that the need to mock announcers and change song lyrics to something silly or suggestive is carried on the Y chromosome.  Women don’t do this.  But let a man hear the lyrics, “Touch the sky,” and he’ll immediately change it to, “Unzip my fly,” or “Touch your thighs.”  I used to think it was something guys did to annoy girls, but I no longer feel that’s the case.  Well, maybe sometimes.  ;)  Now I just think it’s a thing guys do.  Like channel surfing, or being really good at making sound effects, or doing cartoon voices.  I think they do it to amuse themselves, and we just get to go along for the ride.
