Two Laughs from Thursday

Laugh 1:This little girl was a "Memory Maker" yesterday. The Memory Makers retell a story from the previous week's storytelling time. She told the second half of the story "Boneless."

Boneless is a creature with no skin and no bones. Every Halloween he scared the children and ate their dropped candy, until one day the children decided not to be scared. They went right up to Boneless and asked him, "Boneless, why do you scare us?"

Then this Memory Maker said, "And then Boneless tells the truth." Pause, and in a quiet, serious voice, "But I don't know the Boneless truth."

Laugh 2:
During Dance Therapy class the group was unusually chatty. Normally we start dancing and everyone goes inside their own head and gets quiet. But last night, everyone engaged with the group and told stories and laughed and acted silly with each other. It was a funny shift in how we relate to each other. But that's not the funny story...

While we were talking, someone mentioned how they went to a Bar Mitzvah and all the kids knew these choreographed dances to pop songs. Then my professor said that apparently it's very popular to hire "party promoters" for Bar Mitzvahs, which are professional dancers who organize the kids and get them dancing. She learned this when she arrived late for a Bar Mitzvah and saw the party planners out on the dance floor. Confused, she turned to her friend and asked, "why are the hookers dancing with the children?"
