The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy was making rhyming sentences, like "'It's me!' said the tea."  "'Let's cook!' said the cook," she added.  I told her that the sentence didn't rhyme because it used the exact same word twice, and she said, "Yes, the same word, but in a different way."

A YouTube video taught Dorothy the joke about what has a head and a tail but no body (a coin).  I teased her and asked what has a tail but no head and no body (a kite).  She thought for a while and then added, "What has a head but no tail and no body?  An emoji!"

We heard news about the possibility of sports being reopened sans spectators.  Dorothy posed that baseball would be a good sport to open, since the players just throw the ball to each other, and they wear gloves.

"Go to bed now," I said.  "Daddy and I are going to watch a grown-up movie."  "I don't like it when you leave me out, " Dorothy whined.

We were reading a book that included the words "knock knock knock".  "How does that say 'knock'," Dorothy asked, "but there's a silent Kk?"
