[quote=Anonymous]OP, are you sure your kids aren't already funny? My experience is that all kids say and do stuff that is weird and funny. They see the world with fresh eyes and often have no idea what is happening. It's a situation ripe for humor. Have you tried just tuning into your kids and looking for the humor in what they are already doing? I don't mean laughing at them, but using some of that light-heartedness you say you want them to have to approach your interactions with them. My kids say and do stuff that cracks me up all the time. My daughter will fart super loudly and then hold her hand up in the air and yell "Toooooot!" My son constantly tells stories that he made up with, "Once, when I was a [squirrel/old man/the president/a chef]..." Their minds are delightful. I don't know if they will ever make a living in humor (and don't much care either way), but it feels like the humor is always there, just waiting for me to pick it up and enjoy it.[/quote]
