Yo Mamma...

My 5 y/o is trying to catch up with the terrible jokes her older siblings are sharing from various joke books for kids. I think she's really nailed the "Yo Mamma..." genre. This morning she wandered up to her 'Mamma' and unleashed:

5 y/o: Yo Mamma's so ugly that when she goes outside she gets arrested. I mean, when she opens the window.


This is from the same child who has established the favourite family joke to be:

4 y/o (at the time): What do you call a fish with no eyes? ...  A chicken! (followed by loud cackling laughter as she struggles to stand after demonstrating such wit.)

Just ahead...

While walking with my 9 y/o to her first sleepover at a friend's house:

Me (joking): Are you sure you know where her house is?
9 y/o: Yes. It's just ahead.
Me: Okay
9 y/o: See. It's that house up there that looks just like a head.
Me: ...

We're big fans of playing with language and puns, but I'm shocked that my children would turn these against me. Shocked, I tell you! ;-)

What I did at school

As a parent, I think it's important to gain a good understanding of how my children are growing, learning and flourishing at school. Fortunately, they share this information freely...

Me: Did you have a good day at school?
7 y/o: Yes!
Me: And what did you do at school today?
7 y/o: Stuff!
