Growing and Changing

So much growth!

My cute girl is now 9.  She's a third grader....soon to be a 4th grader!  Last night, she participated in the school talent show.  This was a HUGE deal!  Kids on the autism spectrum don't get jokes the way the rest of us do.  It took a great deal of effort to find jokes she thought were funny and so did other people.

It also took quite a bit of explaining what a talent show is, what you could do, why it is not appropriate to train a cat to sit, and why eating rice with chopsticks is great but would be hard for the audience to see.

Here are her jokes:

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana.

Banana who?

Why is six afraid of seven?

Why?

Because seven, eight, nine.

Why do cows have bells?

Why?

Because their horns don't work.
