thankful thursday - humor

As Uncle Albert sings in the hit movie, Mary Poppins, I love to laugh! The ability to laugh is a gift, one I am thankful for each day. It lowers my blood pressure, makes me happy and gives me a more positive outlook on life.

I have been in North Carolina visiting the East Coast sweethearts and have laughed heartily every single day I've been here.

Everyday conversations are funny. Ben (almost nine-years old) wanted to know if his parents were going to "kiiiiiiiisssssss" when they "went out on a date" (to dinner and a movie while I babysat).

Mixing up words is funny. Ellie (two-years old) often says words differently than they are normally pronounced - like "det-to-wer"  for "Christopher."

"Jokes" are a way of life, especially with kids! Two years ago this month I posted each of their favorite knock knock jokes (wacky wednesday - tee hee hee). For your laughing pleasure, here are the current ones:

Knock knock
Who's there?
Honey bee
Honey bee who?
Honey, be a dear and please get me a soda!
(Christopher, age 12)

Knock knock
Who's there?
A broken pencil
A broken pencil who?
Never mind, it's pointless.
(Nick, age 11)

Knock knock
