Ever watch SpongeBob SquarePants? It's a cartoon on Nickelodeon. Last Sunday I was kinda rough housing with my grandson when the basement wall suddenly introduced itself to his chin. After the floodgate of tears had mercifully stopped and he made me call his mom on her cell(no stitches, thank goodness) he wanted to snuggle and watch cartoons. My conscience was in such a sad state he could've asked for a porno film and I would've given in. Whew! He asked for SpongeBob, instead.
Bob's a talking sponge who lives in the ocean. A lot of sea animals inhabit his body. In a cartoon not only is creative license expected it's mandatory. There are any number of characters on the show and I don't know their names------ yet. I think SpongeBob is supposed to be the Forrest Gump of cartoon characters, very likeable but a simpleton. Know what? Mr. SquarePants transcends ages. The show is funny for both adults and kids. There was a scene in which Bob got in a snowball fight with another character, possibly Mr. Krabs. If you haven't guessed he's a crab. Bob made his body into a snowball shooting machine. Snowballs came out as if they were coming out of a machine gun. He filled up Mr. Krabs mouth with wet snow then ran into his house. It wasn't but seconds later when this Krab character was pounding on Bob's door, dancing and jumping around, screaming in agony. His bladder must have been the size of a hot air balloon. The scene was comical. Nope! It was funny, hysterically funny. Now, I'm not sure what four year olds know about toilet humor but I'm sure my little buddy didn't understand. He didn't laugh but he was attentive and that's good. Plus, he forgot about his chin problem. If you're really bored or want to relive a possibly demented youth give ol' SpongeBob SquarePants a shot. It's free. It's silly and it's funny. Don't tell anyone, though. They might think you're nuts.
