On our recent vacation, we tried to rank our immediate family members by sense of humor. For me, I know who are at the top and who are the bottom but I can't quite give them individual spots. Hey, we all have good and bad days.
One thing most of us agreed on was that our youngest daughter, age 14, is very funny. This drives the 16- and 18-year olds mad, they think she's not funny at all. We tell them it's not just what she says, it's how she says it and her timing--it's gold.
The boys say I only think she's funny because, on their list of who's funny and not, I am firmly at the bottom. Right above their younger sister.
So I'd like to present some of the things she's said and done lately to make me laugh or smile:
1. While driving around a town with friends, we saw a vape shop. We started commenting about vape flavors and she said, "I think I'll have the Caeser salad vape. You know, to keep it healthy."
2. After voting me more cringey than my friend, second year running, my friend started talking about Moms in general and how they all embarrass their kids but "then you know there's that time when your Mom does something super cool and . . . " This is where my daughter cut in saying, "I haven't experienced that yet."
3. "I like getting new clothes but trying clothes on takes away from time I could be reading books."
4. She was upstairs and could smell food so texted me this:
5. We were browsing at a book store and then this conversation randomly happened:
Her: "Mom, if I have a daughter I'm going to name her Pip."
Me: "Pip?
Her: "Short for Pippa."
Me: "That's cute."
Her: "No it's not that name is awful."
