The point I've made is that it's funny when the recipient is powerful (e.g., President Bush) and that it's cruel and not funny when the recipient is not (e.g., an unpopular classmate). We've also agreed that it can be funny when you're joking about something that we all agree the target is great about, but mean if you're joking about a weak point. The example we've used about that is that we (both parents) are forever ribbing Iris about the time she took an IQ test and got a score of 90 (because the test was for grown-ups and not scored to accommodate for a child). Everyone-- especially the conceited Iris Uber Alles -- knows Iris is far too smart for her own good.the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-9593468415389505312008-06-24T08:30:00.000-07:002008-06-24T08:30:00.000-07:00Lucy's actually pretty oblivious about what her pa...Lucy's actually pretty oblivious about what her parents are going through, and actually since the Sober Husband came home, it's been nice here. Lucy said that in the context of her parents hanging out peacefully together in the dining room.<BR/><BR/>Why do I think it's funny? It's funny in large part because, as we all acknowledge, the Sober Husband is a genius of sorts. If he were actually kind of dumb, it wouldn't be funny that his child called him an idiot. It would be depressing.the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-5983232523740495002008-06-23T23:08:00.000-07:002008-06-23T23:08:00.000-07:00Lucy is only four and i highly doubt her comment w...Lucy is only four and i highly doubt her comment was meant in a mean spirited cutting way. she's funny and it was like calling someone a dodo. i doubt the SH was deeply offended.for a grown man to be insulted by a 4 yr old's goofy statement would be pretty sad. <BR/><BR/>also. i personally don't feel it's young children's job to get involved in the personal matters of their parents. she may, in fact, be oblivious to the elder's conflicts. she's not at an age where she must be obliged to take those events into consideration.hughmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995638646423120399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-18934449757530695272008-06-23T22:44:00.000-07:002008-06-23T22:44:00.000-07:00how is calling one's father an idiot okay at all? ...how is calling one's father an idiot okay at all? especially when one's parents are having problems at home?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-21925840411518332432008-06-23T14:37:00.000-07:002008-06-23T14:37:00.000-07:00well we know one princess who won't mind the SH sl...well we know one princess who won't mind the SH sleeping on the sofa. <BR/><BR/>i hate fireworks. mainly because they scare polly and she just sits on the bed and shivers when she hears them.hughmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995638646423120399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-21044567143022529252008-06-23T14:28:00.000-07:002008-06-23T14:28:00.000-07:00I love snakes.
