Say What?

The following conversation took place last night as I was reading Ethan a story before bed. One of the characters was named Uncle Booker T.

Ethan: (snicker, snicker)
Me: What's so funny?
Ethan: What you just said! (snicker, snicker)
Me, more than a little confused: What part of what I just said?
Ethan, laughing out loud now: Uncle Booger! Ha, ha! That's such a funny name for someone!
Me, also laughing now, because let's face it - Uncle Booger would be a funny name: No, it's Booker. With a "k".
Ethan, somewhat disappointed: Oh, ok.

So we continued to read, but Ethan continued to snicker and mutter "Uncle Booger" under his breath every time I read the name Uncle Booker T. I guess he just likes the sound of "Uncle Booger" better!
