My jokes made the old
ones laugh, bodies shaking, tears flowing. “He’s so funny.” They cooked my
favourite dishes, hugged me and made me feel loved.
When kids are
unreasonable, it’s “Don’t be a fool”; sensible, “Hmm”; noisy, I glare or snarl;
and, when they try jokes like mine, a snort, “Try again.”
“Cheat.” A kid’s
shout echoes year after year.
