Friday Funny: CRUNCHY

      13 Comments on Friday Funny: CRUNCHY

I have an interesting job. Throughout the course of my week/month/year, I visit board rooms and bedrooms, classrooms and hospital rooms; I am attendant at weddings and funerals, at births and deaths; my presence (and the reason for it) is necessary for a multitude of events, the depth and breadth of which is sometimes only an inch deep but is more than a mile wide.

One of my favorite things about my job is that I often get to work with people who say what they really think.

When those people doing the ‘saying what they think’ are children, it often tickles my funny bone.

As, yesterday, was the case:

My young client, carefully collecting large yellow leaves from the ground, asked of the therapist I was working with: Why are these leaves all beautiful and yellow but that one — she pointed to a brown, withered leaf — is all crunchy?

The therapist thought for a moment and then answered, “Well, maybe that crunchy leaf is old.”

To which my young charge responded: …OH. Well, that makes sense. I mean, old people are crunchy too.

And I mean… What can you say to that?

*laugh*

Old people are crunchy too.

YES. Yes, we are…

        This brings to mind a delightful book that’s been around for a while called Smashed Potatoes – little kids’ perceptions of how to make dinner – it’s hilarious.

        Approximating from memory : Thanksgiving dinner – Cook the dead turkey for a while or 7 minutes 2000 degrees while Daddy has some drinks. Take 10 green beans and 43 onions and 9 salts, put in a pan, have a grownup help but not Uncle Bob, he smells funny. . .. ahaha
