This morning while I was making myself up in the bathroom, my daughter burst in.

“Mommy! Know what happened to my shoe?”

“No honey, what happened?”

“Um, um, um, um, um, um, uhhh….I don’t know…”

We have similar conversations often; every parent of a toddler or pre-schooler does. The important thing to remember here is this: don’t laugh until after she leaves the room. Yes, of course I want to be a supportive and nurturing parent at all times, but come on…that stuff is hilarious! You can almost see her brain speeding up and going faster than her mouth, eventually leaving her behind all together. So cute!

Eventually her father and I helped her remember what happened to the shoe, by the way: it had a thread hanging off it.

The other day, Bean started telling me knock-knock jokes. A leap forward in her humorous abilities! Sort of.

Bean: Knock knock!
Me: Who’s there?
Bean: Veronica!
Me: Veronica who?
Bean:….it’s me!!

Bean: Knock knock!
Me: Who’s there?
Bean: (giggling) Veronica butt!
Me: Veronica butt who?
Bean: (laughing) I said butt!!

Me: Knock knock.
Bean: Who’s there?
Me: Mommy
Bean: OK Mommy, you can come in.

Me: (trying again) Knock knock!
Bean: We’re not home!
