Shrek the 4th.

Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life.

Sure, right now it seems odd- but just wait till there's a black out. Who knows, maybe having a twisted son could be a blessing in disguise.

I'm pretty sure there's a Calvin and Hobbes strip about this too...

There is; I loved that comic! "Mom, do we have any string?" "Sure Calvin, what for?" "I'm saving up my earwax to make a candle." "Oh Calvin-! Bleeugh!" "Can at least make a box of crayons?"

Is his best friend an ass?

You should replace the earwax with q-tips and say the EarGods are trying to tell him something.

There is already a fourth Shrek. :P

No, there is only a third Shrek. OP's son, is going to star in the fourth.

"Shrek Forever After", anyone?

That's nasty

At least he's trying to be creative

I read that in a Cleveland voice.

You sure know how to raise 'em

Get your own thread.

That is very nasty.

Maybe with all his wax cleared out he'll listen to you better. This is actually to your benefit.

Wax helps you hear actually

Too much of it impedes hearing like an earplug.

Tbh I think that's pretty cool

except it doesnt work, disproved on mythbusters..

I've seen ads about people who can supposedly help clear all the wax out of your ears and make it into candles. Not sure if it's guaranteed to work though

That will smell lovely!

That's cute!

Well .. it kind of depends on his age, I would say.

It's pretty disgusting

"Today, I found out my son is ambitious. FML" there's always a bright side... Kinda

Resourceful little tyke.
