Ellen - A Response to Amal's Lead Blog

I am partial to kid humor. I love it. I was a ballet teacher for little kids for a couple of years and I love when they do things like this for several reasons. It makes me laugh when they do things that aren’t a big deal and adults can teach them a lesson through it. It’s an innocent way to learn, and it gives the adults a laugh. The sprinkle situation was the cutest. He had them all over his face and still assumed he could get away with it. I loved the mom and Ellen’s reactions to it. The sprinkle bar with hilarious. Like I said, this kind of situation is a great way to teach a lesson, and this boy can learn a few here. Through this he can be taught about lying, and how telling white lies can be hurtful and his mother seems to intend to teach him that. Ellen asking him questions was funny, as he just didn’t seem to know what to say. He was obviously excited and nervous to be on the show so his reactions to everything were heightened and so adorable. I really enjoyed watching him. Also, Ellen really has a talent for bringing people in and making them comfortable and making good television. I really enjoy watching her show, as she is always entertaining. 


Kid humor is so innocent that it doesn’t have negative implications. As long as no one gets hurt, watching kids fumble around through their childhood is one of my favorite things to do. They make mistakes and have zero critical thinking skills and it’s honestly a hilarious thing to observe. Sometimes I wish I could remember when I was 3 years old so I could think back on how life worked back then.
