Things that make me laugh

Recently Laney walked up to me and said

"Mommy, I want to piss in your ear."
Of course I burst out laughing, and then tried to wade through that statement in the hopes that she did not actually want to give my ear a golden shower.  I finally deduced that she wanted to whisper "psssst" in my ear, and tell me a secret.  This is a tickle game I play with the kids to get them out of a funk.  After I pssst (not piss) in their ears I nuzzle the spot right behind their ears and then give them a big raspberry.  I used to call this game Mommy wants to tell you a secret.  Maybe I will call it pee-pee-ears from now on.

On Monday I told Laney a joke and she just looked blankly at me and asked why I said that.  I told her I was just telling her a joke to be silly and make her laugh.  She looked at me in all seriousness {side note:  she was sitting on the potty} and told me "when you tell jokes my mouth doesn't know how to laugh at them."  At this point I mentally entered the sound effect that is played at the end of every losing game on the Price Is Right.  I thought I was funny, but I guess not.
