His First Pun
Posted by Christopher Smith
My son came up with his first pun tonight. He was snacking on crackers with his mother, and decided that they were both ducks. After imitating ducks for a bit, he declared, “We’re ducks! We’re eating quackers!” He giggled afterwards, indicating he knew he was being funny.
I actually missed the initial moment itself because I was late getting home from work (not exactly the first of “firsts” I’ve missed), but he performed the joke for me as well.
I’m going to have to be more careful with the humor I use around him now. He’s liable to recognize the all-too-common case when my jokes are lame.
