I pack Caleb and McKenna's lunches for school on most days, and like a lot of moms, I somtimes put a little note in their lunches...something simple, like "Love You" with hearts all over. A few days into the school year, the kids made a request. They wanted me to start writing a joke everyday and put it in their lunches. My first thought was, "Okay, I don't know a whole lot of jokes...lI hope I can find something online!!"
The first day of the "Joke of the Day" was a big hit. For those inquiring minds, here was our first joke: Why did Tigger look in the toilet? He was looking for Pooh! You would have thought I was the funniest person on earth. That day after school when the kids got in the car, they re-told the joke at least 10 times! Since that first day, every morning, the kids make sure I've written a new joke for them. This week, it became a little more difficult. They asked that I write two jokes: one for each of them. Apparently, the lunch monitors at school read the jokes over the mic to the whole lunch crowd. So now I've been tasked with finding two jokes per day. Thank heavens for the internet!!!
It amazes me how the most simple things make my children so happy! It doesn't take much effort, but such a little thing brings a smile to their faces. And that makes me smile.
It's the little things!
