“Daddy, some people are funny, and some people are serious. Daddy’s funny.”
“Am I funny?”
“No. You’re serious.”
“Are you funny?”
“Yes.”
“Is Bennett funny?”
“Yes.”
“So I’m the only serious one?”
“Yes.”
“What about your teacher?”
“She’s serious.”
“Oh, good. So it’s not just me.”
“But sometimes she’s funny.”
“Am I funny sometimes?”
“No.”
“Who else is funny?”
“Um… the cup.”
“The cup is funnier than me?!”
“Can I play with the iPad now?”
Finally. I have been crowned the winner.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I bow to the bowl alongside me and thank it for some of the comedy training I have employed into my own act.
(I will use this distinction for many, many years to come, Jerry.)
And disproving Sutton’s theory, I meant to say “the CUP alongside me,” not the bowl. Clearly, the 4-year-old criteria for judging ‘funny’ isn’t always scientifically accurate.
Reblogged this on KMSRAJ51-Always Positive Thinker.
I just asked her again, “Sutton, am I funny?” This time, she said, “No… but I like your voice.”
Now THAT’S funny!
She needs to have some fun(ny) time with me –
THAT was funny, Jerry!!

I want to give you some sort of sympathetic reply, but I’m still laughing too hard. I’m sorry :p
Though young kids think the weirdest things are funny. I remember when my cousin was three, she thought it was HILARIOUS if I clapped my hands upwards in a line. Like, funniest thing ever. Go figure.
Hahaha out of the mouths of babes 🙂
The humility of parenthood!
I agree with Anonymous; eventually she’ll get your brand of humor. In the meantime, we think you’re hilarious!
