Staley has recently gotten interested in telling jokes. She has memorized a handful of jokes that she enjoys sharing with family and friends. A few knock-knock jokes, a few simple puns. But there's something about a roll-your-eyes-laffy-taffy joke coming out of the mouth of a toddler that makes it truly funny. So when Staley asks, "Why is Cinderella not a good basketball player?" and answers with "Because her coach is a pumpkin," it makes me laugh every time. Staley seems to like the laughs she elicits with her jokes, so last night she decided to make up a few of her own.
Q: "What does your hair do in the shower?"
A: "Wet."
Q: "What does you shirt do in the shower?"
A: "Goes in the hamper."
And I'm not sure that it mattered to Staley that I didn't find her original jokes quite as funny as her Cinderella joke or her knock-knock jokes. She apparently thought her new jokes were hilarious. And really, if you can make yourself laugh, does it really matter what anyone else thinks?
