Today is my day to have Magda all day, so after taking Jonathan to school I ran by Jenny’s to pick her up. By ten ‘til 9 a.m. we were heading for my house, both little girls in their car seats. They are always delighted to see each other, and today they decided to tell jokes on the way home. If I recall correctly, the conversation went something like this:
Magda: Kayleigh, I am going to tell you a joke now.
Kayleigh: Okay, Magda.
Magda: Put your eyeball on your nose.
Kayleigh: Gross!!!
[Both girls giggle maniacally.]
That went on for the rest of the ride, with each of them taking turns saying something, the other responded with either “Gross!” or “Ewww!”, and then the crazed giggling.
At lunch, instead of joketime it was storytime. Those sounded something like this:
Magda: Once upon a time, there was a little girl and she went to sleep. The End.
[Silly giggling.]
Kayleigh: Once upon a time, there was a door. The End.
[Giggling.]
And so on. It’s a good thing they delight themselves so much! They are awfully cute to observe.
