    Out of everything he got for Christmas this is what brought him THE most pleasure.

    Unfortunately there was an incident later on Christmas Day involving a Teenager the dog and the whoopee cushion.  Sadly, the whoopee cushion came to a rather abrupt end.

    I am slightly ashamed to admit that I went Christmas shopping with my Big Little Sister K and bought the whoopee cushion in the Cath Kidston shop.

    That’s right, I went into Cath Kidston and all I bought was a 75p whoopee cushion.

    The shame … It’s OK though, because I’ll be going back for another very soon.

      We were given one too. It has proved to be the BEST present for the boys. They love it. 2 hours of happy, relative peace for me and wild hysterics from them.

      Tragically, their Dad found it as funny.

        I must admit we all found it funny. It was a shame it came to an untimely death. It’s his birthday in 2 weeks … new whoopee cushion it is!

      The boys cherish their woopee cushions – they even used straws to blow them up before hey managed to do it themselves

      • admin on January 8, 2010

        Genius! He asked us to blow it up a few times then worked it out himself.

      Hahahhahahahaha.

      This made my day, I reblogged it over at ETR – Hope that’s okay!

      • admin on January 8, 2010

        That’s fine – glad to be of service!

      The most popular present in our family was an old-fashioned spinning top, at maybe 5 euros. The old favourites are still the best.

      • admin on January 8, 2010

        The favourites are definitely still the best. Out of all the new fangled shiny plastic and he went straight for the whoopee cushion.

      I can beat that. My son’s favourite present was a £1.50 fake dog poo. Loads of laughs on Christmas day

      • admin on January 8, 2010

        I remember my favourite ever Christmas present was a dead finger. I used to hang it out of door jambs and drawers and scream. Hilarious … to me … not to whoever found it.

      That child has the cutest giggle ever. It’s obviously hereditary, that giggle.

      • admin on January 8, 2010

        Yeah, the husband laughs like a girl too! ;)

      We had a whoopee cushion too, sadly wore out through over-use, I’d stock up in Cath Kidston if I were you ….hope it was printed with tasteful flower posies x

      • admin on January 9, 2010

        It was a standard whoopee cushion, which is where the shame comes in. how could I go in there and only buy standard non flowery goods?

    • Muddling Along Mummy on January 8, 2010

      Am now tempted by one of these for Toddlergirl – she’s discovered fart jokes recently … hmmmm

      But in Cath Kidson ???

      • admin on January 9, 2010

        Definitely buy one! If my boy is anything to go by, buy 4.

    • Rosie Scribble on January 9, 2010

      We managed to get one of those dreadful things by complete accident from a Christmas Cracker. Unfortunately ours came to an abrupt end when someone (can’t possibly think who!!) filled it with so much water it burst!

      • admin on January 10, 2010

        Water? Was that for the wet fart effect?

      Now that is cool! Great video x
