Somebody just mentioned pie, and it reminded me of a story.
Did I ever tell you guys about my sixth birthday? That was the year I wanted a pie thrown in my face. Because I had learned, by watching the television, that a pie in the face was the ultimate in funny. That was the upper echelon of humor. Odd how I wanted the pie in my face, instead of doing the throwing of the pie at someone else. Maybe I understood, even then, to get humor, you had to occasionally be the but of it. Of course, my mom did it. She smacked me, gently, in the face with a portion of a banana cream pie. Some of it was set aside for eating, of course. And you know what? FUNNY! Totally and completely funny! And delicious.
I wish I had pictures of it.

I sincerely hope that one day I will have a child ask me for this very thing.
It might be the ultimate in funny that you asked for it...

hey... we can't all be funny, marie. someone has to be cute. or smart. or hard working.
I worry, kaycee, that kids today are missing out on the "funny" due to a lack of variety shows on television like "donnie and marie" and "sonny and cher" and all the other numerous variety shows in the 70's from which i learned that PIE is FUNNY.
