The one where I realise Mushroom has started to develop a real sense of humour… And has learned the art of keeping a straight face.
We’re in the swimming pool changing rooms, getting ready to have a quick swim together before Mushroom’s lesson. I take my jeans and t-shirt off and am ready to go as I had my swimsuit on underneath. Mushroom is half naked.
Mushroom: Come on then.
Me: You’re not ready yet.
Mushroom: No, you’re not ready yet.
Me: What? I mean, why do you say that?
Mushroom: Mummy. You have to take ALL your clothes off to go swimming!
Me: But Mushroom. Then I’d be naked. *Thinking this is the end of the conversation*
Mushroom: Yes. You have to go naked today. I told you yesterday*
Me: *confused* Why are we having this conversation?
Mushroom: *serious face* Get undressed Mummy, hurry up!
Me: …
Mushroom: Your face! Haha Mummy I tricked ya! It’s a JOKE! *cracks up laughing*
*’yesterday’ meaning anytime in the past month or two. Or three.
Ha, that’s priceless! It’s lovely when children develop the sophistication to understand and employ humour – it’s a great way for their personality to shine through.
Isn’t it? He can be quite challenging at the moment so I love recording moments like these to look back on when we’ve had a rough day! He is definitely starting to get humour now, and it’s nice to be able to really laugh at a joke he’s made!
Hahahaha! Brilliant! – Kicked my morning off on a giggle….Thanks Mushroom ;o)
Glad we helped you start your day with a smile! 🙂 x
