Has your daughter considered a career in comedy? Sounds like she's much more suited to that than being a formula 1 driver, or whatever it was chrestomancy was suggesting ;-)

You could have a point. Particularly as it seems that someone else (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4349341.stm) has beaten her to it.

I must ask her what she thinks. It'd probably be worth another entry.

"Bea? What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a fairy."

Reminds me of my baby sister's favourite joke when she was three or four:
Q: What do you call a small elephant with a short nose and small ears?
A: A mouse.
Q: What do you call a large mouse with big ears?
A: An elephant with a short nose.
Q: What do you call an elephant with small ears?
A: A large mouse with a long nose.
etc. etc., concluding with the unexpected punchline...
Q: What do you call a long green elephant?
A: A crocodile!

That sounds like a pretty complicated joke for a 3-4 year old to remember!

Sensible girl. Fairies have all the fun ;-)

Does she have fairy wings? Do you mind if she acquires a set? Cos I have two, and I'd happily pass a set on in the interests of indoctrination encouragement to the younger generation.

She's currently got a set of her own - but otherwise would be delighted!

She could wear both sets at once, and declare herself to be a half-fairy-half-dragonfly.

Now I'm having flashbacks to elephant jokes....as in

How many Elephants can you get in a mini?
4, 2 in the front, 2 in the back (no idea why this one's funny), but it sets you up for those jokes about how you can tell if an elephants been in your fridge.

No prizes for the (rather painful and predictable) punchline.

[onebyone.livejournal.com]

Well, if it's going to be elephants-in-things jokes:

How do you get five elephants in a Mini?
Two in the front, two in the back and one in the glove compartment.

How do you get five giraffes in a Mini?
You can't, it's full of elephants.

How do you get two whales in a Mini?
Straight down the M4 and over the Severn Bridge.

How do you tell if there's an elephant under your bed?
Your nose touches the ceiling.

How do you tell if there's an elephant in your bed?
By the "E" embroidered on his pyjamas.

Why do elephants paint their toenails red?
So they can hide in cherry trees.

What's grey, and kills you if it falls on you out of a cherry tree?
A carpark.

etc.

Why do elephants paint their testicles red?
So they can hide in cherry trees

What's the loudest noise in the jungle?
Monkeys eating cherries

Hmmm, I'm going to blame this all on alanna!

Although....

What do you do if an elephant comes through the window?

(Go on, you all know the answer)

[lathany.livejournal.com]

Bea would laugh. She wouldn't remember it though.

Hey, hey! It wasn't me, honest!
