Funny Girl

Adelie has always been a ham.  She will do anything for a laugh.  As her vocabulary for this early part of her life has been pretty limited, she has generally had to rely on physical humor to get her laughs.  You know, things like falling down, throwing things, putting things on her head, sticking her fingers in her ears.  But as Adelie has been adding more and more words to her vocabulary, she has found her first funny 'joke.'

At meal times (any time during breakfast, lunch, or dinner), Adelie will say "dessert."  I will say, "We're not going to have dessert."  Adelie will then smile and say, "cookie."  I'll say, "We're not going to have a cookie!"  And Adelie will grin like a chesire cat and then start again with "dessert."  Staley thinks this is SO funny, which of course keeps Adelie going and going and going.

It may not be the first one you bust out a dinner party, but it gets lots of laughs around here.

My funny girl!
