We sometimes watch a TV show called “Good Eats” on the Food Network channel. The host, Alton Brown spends each episode talking about how to make a certain dish or cook a certain food. He also throws in all the interesting tidbits about food, culture, physics, etc. It’s really very informative and interesting.
Tonight the show was on carrots and during one part, he was explaining why you can’t see when you go from a brightly lit room to a suddenly dim or dark room. As a visual for this explanation, he walked over to his BBQ grill, which was painted like an eyeball, and said “Behold, the human eye!” (Following this, he used the grill to help explain the way an eye/iris works).
Well, Ryan got a big kick out of that (he thinks Alton Brown is very funny and spends most of the show laughing). He said the line “Behold, the human eye” no less than 8 times before the show was over. I finally had to tell him to stop it!!! After the show, I sent the boys to get ready for bed. I could hear them messing around in the bathroom; arguing, fighting, being silly. Then suddenly Ryan says “I’m telling” and comes tromping up the hall to find me.
“Aaron did a bad thing!” He tells me. Then he proceeds to tell me that they are in the bathroom playing around and Ryan decides to do the gag one more time. So he pulls his eyelids apart really wide and says “Behold, the human eye!” In response, Aaron promptly pulled down his pants and says, “Behold, the human penis!”
