Elderberry syrup and other laughs

Today, while helping me make elderberry syrup, Scratch asked, "is this for the 'misher-aries' ?" (missionaries).  Confused, I said, "No, it's for us to drink to keep us healthy. Why?"  "Because it's called Elder-berry syrup. And they are Elders".  He was asking a sincere question and didn't realize he'd made a joke. :)

It reminds me of this past Christmas.  Santa brought the kids a helicopter drone and, upon opening it, Scratch exclaimed, "What the helicopter?!" to which we all immediately started laughing.  He couldn't understand what we found funny. :)

This kid keeps us in stitches every day! He is so much fun to have around!
