Katy's First Joke

While visiting my in-laws for Thanksgiving, Katy was hanging out in the kitchen with her Tia Vivian.  Vivian was making pie crust when she dropped an egg on my mother-in-law's recently-cleaned floors.  Vivian scrambled to clean the egg while everyone told Katy not to tell my mother-in-law about the dropped egg.  Doug was close by and quickly joined in the clean up efforts, lapping up the raw egg from the floor.   When my mother-in-law returned to the room, Katy casually narrated what she saw: "Dougie esta comiendo huevo (Dougie is eating egg)."  Everyone busted out laughing as Katy tattled on her Tia to my mother-in-law.  Katy loved the reaction, and thus was born Katy's first joke:  "Dougie esta comiendo huevo."

Katy now believes "Dougie esta comiendo huevo" is a very funny phrase.  She has repeated the phrase several times a day for the last two weeks, sometimes waiting for a response of laughter, sometimes laughing at the joke herself, and sometimes repeating it over and over and over until someone acknowledges her attempt at humor.  With so many repeat performances, Katy's joke isn't very funny anymore.  It is, however, fun to watch Katy develop a sense of humor.

She frequently covers her mouth while laughing to
emphasize humor.
