Media today 237

Reading: Kathryn Lasky, Die Legende der Wächter 2. Die Wanderschaft, loc. 2384-2493/2997 (kindle edition); Roger Hargreaves, Miss Glanzseveral old jokes from Imke Stotz, Sagt Ulf zu Gnulf... : Die 500 besten Kinderwitze 

The last couple of weeks I've actually been reading jokes to J at breakfast, after we park the bikes at his school in the morning, and then in the evening during bedtime reading. Also, I've done it several times when he has been in a sad or sour mood, in order to cheer him up. This works very well. Now, even when it is me who has caused his sadness or sourness—namely when I chew him out—a few minutes later he will come to me, with still tear-streaked face, and say "Papa, kannst du mir ein paar Witze erzählen? / Daddy, can you tell me a couple of jokes?"
