Last week, the boys and the princess (as the sole girl in a k-4 district behavior program, she's been the princess since day 1) and I were sitting and eating snack while I read aloud. I was in a particularly silly mood.
My young lady was eating Doritos-the Nacho Cheese variety. I said "Uh-oh Princess, better stop eating those!"
"Why?"
"Because...it says right there...it's Not Yo' Cheese!"
I take full responsibility for my horrible pun.
One of my boys tells me that if I were a comedian, people would throw tomatoes at me and I would get booed off the stage.
I turn to my ally in terrible humor and ask him what he thinks.
He pauses for a moment, reflects, and then gets a goofy grin on his face.
"I don't know...a lot of people like bad jokes!"
Well played, kiddo. I guess I should stick with what I'm good at. Message received.
