What she has not figured out...is that typically jokes make up by five-year-olds are not funny.
You would never guess it though. She believes she is the next Jay Leno.
The big kids rolls their eyes. Me...well, I do try to laugh. I promise. I find this phase very sweet.
Abbey: Mom. Mom. What did the cat eat for dinner???
Me: Hmmpff? (barely listening)
Abbey: He ate the food for dinner!!
Ha ha ha ha!
She tells them ALL.DAY.LONG.
On the way to the store:
Mom. Mom. Maaaam!@!?Bwahahaha!
Why did the kid go to the store?
To go to the commissary!
Playing outside:
Why do bees go on flowers?Ahahahaha!!
Because bees fly on the flowers!!
Getting into the shower this evening:
Why did the stink stink up the house?TeeHehehehehe!
Because it was a skunk!!!
She finds herself superbly funny.
After this last joke she asked...
Abbey: "Mom. Why don't you get my jokes?"
Me: (treading carefully) "Um...because I have never heard those particular ones before?"
Abbey: "Well, that just shows that once again you don't know everything!"
Touche.

All jokes were transcribed verbatim. Really. I can't make this stuff up.
Love it! Reminds me of paddy's rhyme attempts :)
ReplyDeleteI did laugh at a few of them, but that was mainly because I could picture the look on your face while she was telling you her jokes. After all you don't know everything.
