While we were there it was my job to find some trinkets for the goody bags. Immediately I headed over to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle items. There were some really cool little toys. Some finger puppets, Rubik&#8217;s cube, bubbles, crayons, etc&#8230; What I found on the bottom of the rack though is something that I haven&#8217;t played with in a very long time. A Whoopee Cushion. A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles whoopee cushion at that! The best part is it was only a dollar, so what did I have to lose? And who was printed upon the green bag of joy? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lh2uYXHFrvk\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Prankenstein himself<\/a>, Michaelangelo.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arrival home I had to show my new toy to the kids. Alex fell asleep so I\u00a0was left with\u00a0Abby Doodles to bear witness to the greatest invention ever. I took the cushion out of the package and while Abby pondered the peculiar object I filled it with its precious fuel, air. Now this is where the fun begins. I set the cushion down on the chair and asked mom to have a seat. She happily obliged and let out a loud air biscuit. Maniacal laughter began pouring out of little Abby&#8217;s mouth and already it was requested to fill the cushion again, and again, and again.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s something to be said about the sound a whoopee cushion makes. It&#8217;s just hilarious to kids. Even some adults such as myself. I had so much fun with my daughter for a few hours with a toy that only cost one dollar. I would mark that as a win in any book. Tomorrow Alex will get his chance to fill the house with laughter&#8230; and fart noises.<\/p>\n<p>httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yfx9KJkUMQI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife and I recently went to Party City to pick up some supplies for Alex&#8217;s first birthday party next weekend.
