... jokes.

Rachael is just starting to understand a sense of humor. 3 year olds are very literal; she doesn't understand why adults can be talking and then just burst out laughing. So we have been working on the idea of jokes, that jokes are funny. Particularly knock-knock jokes. She doesn't quite get it yet; here's my favorite.

Rachael: Knock knock.
Mommy: Who's there?
Rachael: Salad.
Mommy: Salad who?
Rachael: Salad bee-nana I'm drowning.

Then she laughs hysterically! It's so completely wrong that it's funny, so we do it all over again. I'll be a little sad when she finally works out knock knock jokes.
