Little Comedian

Max has a funny sense of humor. He can makes us laugh all of the time. And he even cracks up in his sleep!! From early on, he had a keen sense of things being funny, even if he didn't understand them. He also is an early reader. Totally self taught and self motivated. I think part of it is having an older sister in school, who brings home fun, easy reader material. He just hangs out with us after school to see what Zoey's homework is. So he can read some words, and if he can't, he asks us what the words are... he also loves these from Trader Joe's:



As soon as he could read the words, he got that it was a joke and that it was supposed to be funny. So he randomly starts out, "So this strawberry walks into a bar..." and then whoever is around him laughs... He gets the reaction he wants! It doesn't ever get old, to me either. I laugh every time. His teachers must think we are weird when our four year old is telling bar jokes! One day he was looking at the box a little more carefully and said, "Oh... This low-fat strawberry walks into a bar!" Now all he needs is the punch line!
