In reality, Bella is my jokestress, (feminine for "jokester," of course).
Today our elementary school took part in a special fundraiser for Rady Children's Hospital. The students sold a special edition of the newspaper called, "Kid's News Day." It features articles about children who have overcome great odds and who have lived through serious trauma.
At the request of my children, I read to them numerous articles about children who experienced serious trauma. They were genuinely concerned about what happened to these kids. A number of relevant questions were asked. I felt quite proud that my children had such empathy for what these children were going through.
And then, mostly by accident, Bella threw in her humor.
Pointing to a picture of one of the patients and a woman, Bella questioned, "Is that the little girls' mom?"
After reading the caption below the picture, I answered, "No, it is her Occupational Therapist."
Without hesitation, she retorted, "Therapist? Is that something like, My dog pist?"
Leave it to Bella to lighten up a serious situation!

They look so much older and it has only been a few months since you posted!
By the way, that was me when I was younger. I can relate to Bella!
