A Few 4-Year-Old Funnies
Despite the fact that Mama was facing a deadline and not in the mood for folly last night, I was persuaded to participate in the "family laugh circle" by an insistent 6-year-old. The four of us placed ourselves strategically on the floor, with each person's head on another's tummy, and let the jokes begin.
The best—and worst—ones came from the youngest member of our clan, whose delivery can make even the utterly illogical hilarious.
"What did 29 say to 21?" she asked. The punchline? "Hey, look out! You're in an air balloon!"
And another: "What did the bear say to its honey?" A short pause, and then: "Hey, honey! Wake up, 'cause I'm gonna eat'cha!"
She's not ready for stand-up yet, but she had a friendly audience in her family.
