# 0028: A Sense of Humor

I love seeing my kids have a sense of humor. From the first time they laugh at a silly face to the first time they do something over and over again just to make you laugh.

I love to see a sense of humor come out in their little personalities. When they are little babies laughing you just gotta ask, "how do they know that's funny?" And when they get big enough to notice you laugh or a sibling laugh at something they did and they repeat what made you laugh in the first place over and over again to the point that you are both cracking up.

I love to see them come up with they're own funny things to do.
I've had our daughter folding our socks for a year or so now. It's a great sorting/ matching activity as well as a simple enough and productive job (just like putting the silverware away). She did really well with it at first, but lately she's gotten "creative" with her task. My husband pulled a pair of his socks apart the other day. One was ankle length, one was crew cut. He looked at our daughter and she just smiled this coy little smile. I reminded her the other day whe she was folding ot pay attention to what she was doing because blah blah blah blah blah blah (I recounted the story about her dad's mismatched socks). She just grinned and told me that sometime she likes to "play tricks" on her dad. Well, I can't argue with that. That's funny! I'm so proud! She gets it.

Not the case at our house... lol
