Kids Think Its Funny When

Kids think its funny when...

Kids enjoy watching you when
You start sticking out your tongue
Make faces to make them laugh
Crazy dancing, acting young

Kids fall about laughing when
You tell them funny stories
About silly or rude stuff
Or gasp if its too gory

Kids think its so funny when
You talk about farts and poo
The many ways to describe
The way we go to the loo

Kids love to giggle lots when
You tickle them on the tum
Or you wheek them up on knee
And then bounce them on their bum

Kids watch you and grow more when
They are happy as can be
Loving every minute shared
Creating fond memories

Duke Beaufort August 25, 2016 at 6:03 PM Yes so sweet you are. I assume you are or have been a mom or a caregiver and have seen the great things humor and love do for children. Anyway, it's great to see the lovely and charming outlook you have on life and language. I hope to look at more of your work when I have a chance. I hope you will be here and make many more contributions. Laura Hay August 26, 2016 at 5:04 AM Aww, thank you Duke. I am indeed a Mum and an auntie to many! I love children, they amaze me. I hope to make many more contributions to PS too, and will be sure to stop by more of your work too Duke! Warm regards, Laura.

Mark Anthony Cotterman August 17, 2016 at 9:32 AM exactly! a wonderful poem that should be stretched out into a book. love it!!! Laura Hay August 17, 2016 at 9:38 AM Aww thanks so much for the fab comments and yes, might ponder that actually! :)

Connie Marcum Wong August 14, 2016 at 4:02 AM I can tell you know how to make a child happy. It doesn't take any money. It just takes attention and a willingness to act a little silly. I am dealing with a four year old g.daughter and I have never laughed as much! I do all the things you mention in your poem and that grants me the title from her of Best Grandma in the World! Your poem shines Laura and I love it! 7 ; ) Laura Hay August 15, 2016 at 2:54 AM Awww that's so lovely Connie. Yip Grandmas get extra permission to be fun and silly. Its a great feeling to know you've made them happy. Enjoy doing more fun and silly stuff, much love and happiness to you and your family, thanks for the kind comments too :)

Paul Callus August 12, 2016 at 3:54 PM I love the way you interplay and interrelate with children, Laura. Shows how important it is to share quality time with them. It's what makes the relationship work. ~ Warm regards // paul Laura Hay August 15, 2016 at 2:52 AM My daughter really liked this poem too. And yes it is very important to have that quality fun time with kids. Thanks again for your kind comments. Warm regards, Laura.

Jan Allison August 12, 2016 at 4:34 AM I agree with everything you say Laura and agree with Tim we influence out kids so much. Laughter in our lives is so important - save the serious stuff for when we finally grow up - think I have time to go ... i write lots of poo poetry lol:-) hugs Jan xx Laura Hay August 12, 2016 at 7:11 AM As the saying goes, love laugh live, thanks for stopping by Jan, warm regards, Laura.

Tim Smith August 11, 2016 at 9:07 AM It is true. We are very influential in their lives but the littlest things make them giggle. Laura Hay August 11, 2016 at 10:06 AM Thanks for stopping by to read Tim, kind regards
