The comedian

We have a budding comedian in our family. Clara has taken a sudden interest in jokes. A few months ago Bryan told her this one "Why was 6 afraid of seven? Because seven ate nine." She still doesn't quite get it but it spawned her interest in the idea of telling jokes. I have gotten her to tell this one but sometimes she gets it a little mixed up. "What's black and white and red all over? A skunk with a sunburn." She will sometimes repeat with "What's red and white and black all over? A skunk with a sunburn." She has tried many times to make up her own. Many involve just silly phrases like this. "I'm going to tell you a joke. A banana with a shopping cart." And then she giggles. At least she finds herself funny. And of course I can't help but giggle along with her silliness.
