Laughter at bedtime
Every evening, to stop Andrea stressing out while I get her ready for bed, I amuse her by pretending not to know what happens next. So as she's getting her pyjamas on, I'll say, "Next we have to put shoes on, coat on and go to the station to catch a train." Once the pyjamas are on, I'll say, "Now you're going to have a cup of hot tea...a glass of Coca-Cola...some water..." until she sets me straight and tells me she's having milk.
Tonight, the conversation went like this:
Me: And once you've got your pyjamas on, you can have a cup of coffee.
Andrea: Glass of coley-coley!
Me: *helpless with laughter*
I also told her a knock-knock joke, which she found riotously funny. Even the "knock, knock" part.
