Emma and I have made the jump to Spongebob Squarepants in yet another sign that my 5-year-old is growing up and expanding her sense of humor to “bum” jokes.
It’s the type of transition that every parent sees sooner or later — from sweet, innocent child to the kind of kid who laughs when a cartoon sponge passes gas under water.
I’m not proud of it, but the transition has been made. After years of watching Dora, the Backyardigans, Special Agent Oso and other cartoons that I had no interest in, we can now watch cartoons together as a daughter and father were meant to — laughing hysterically.
Yet another reason to enjoy being underemployed with a 5-year-old.
