Booktalking "My Dad Thinks He's Funny" by Katrina Germein
The lame jokes, the corny repertoire. None of it is funny, yet you are supposed to laugh. We've all been there with our parents.
"Would you like some dinner with that ketchup?" is one such question a parent might elicit.
My father says, "Good morning," when it is evening.
My father says, "the sky," when I ask what's up.
My father says, "Don't get wet." when I go swimming.
Whether you want a confusing answer or an obvious statement, turn to Dad.
My Dad Thinks He's Funny by Katrina Germein, 2010.
