A List of Things That Made My Kid Laugh This Week

My son is four, and he laughs constantly. I started writing down what made him laugh, because I never want to forget.

The word "pickle." The dog sneezing. His father pretending to trip over the laundry basket. A cloud that "looked like a duck wearing pants." His own reflection in a spoon. Me singing the alphabet song backwards. Bubbles landing on his nose. The sound a balloon makes when you let go of it.

The fact that cows say "moo" and not "hello." His grandmother wearing his firefighter hat. A banana that was "too curvy." Tickles, always tickles.

I read the list to him tonight before bed, and he laughed at every single item all over again. Then he said, "Do me now," and tickled my feet.
