Why shouldn't you tell jokes while ice skating?....It might CRACK UP!

This is silly but it thrilled me to hear it. My 6 year old has FINALLY learned the art of joke telling. She has been telling jokes for years now every since she hear a knock knock joke on a kids television show. She has made up thousands of jokes that make absolutely NO SENSE and she just didn't get it. We, of course, had to laugh, it IS in the Parents Handbook (page 42, number 7432--You must laugh hysterically at every joke your child tells regardless of rather it is funny or not.). Today she actually told jokes that made sense and I could actually LAUGH! Here is a sample and she nailed them....What kind of dog tells time? A WATCHdog!....What kind of animal lives on your head? A HARE!! What kind of dog loves to take a bath?....A ShamPOODLE!!!...Now, you may say these are corny but when your six year old tells them out of the blue after years of nonsense jokes, you would be impressed too!

Today we are taking Brownie to the vet. His very first visit but he has be nipping us lately when we hold him and he has a patch of hair missing and the wonderful internet tells us that he may have mites on his skin and that is making him uncomfortable. So its off to the vet for a visit.
My daughter who has been watching BINDI, the Jungle girl (a show featuring Steve Irwin's daughter), said CRIKEY! We need to get him treated immediately. She is quite impressed and a big fan of Bindi Irwin. She wants to move to Australia and help her on her show. My girl has always been a big animal lover and the fact that another little girl gets to actually live with them and help take care of them is amazing to her.

So, that's our main priority for the day. We also need to run a few other errands. Hope your day is a great one!

oh, I hope Brownzilla is ok! And gotta laugh on the joke issue. I thought DNK would NEVER get past the:
"knock knock, who's there?, Tree. Tree who? Trees in the front yard."

or:

"knock knock. Who's there? Plate. Plate who? Plate on the table"

You get the idea. HOURS ON END. A person can only FAKE laugh so much.......... hehe.
