It's Not a Joke

The kids have their own joke that they find hilarious. I have to admit, the more they do it, the funnier it becomes.

It goes like this:

Knock Knock

Who's there?

Broom.

Broom who?

It's not a joke. It's me, Broom.

Are you laughing yet? Give it 20 or 30 more times. Oh, and it helps to have a cute little not-quite-two-year-old trying to upstage her brother by yelling in her halting yet surprisingly well-articulated English, "It's me, BROOOOOM!"

Annabel is in a parrot phase right now. If you rest your elbow on the table and cup your chin in your hand, she'll do the same. She watches every move and tries to imitate everything, saying, "Ah-bell do it TOO!"

She tends to over-emphasize the last syllable of whatever she's saying.
