Early last week I received news that one of my husband’s close friends had passed away. It was the kind of news that rocks you to your core and shakes up all of your feelings. This time last week I was booking flights for my husband and I to attend his memorial in San Francisco and looking through old, happy photos that were posted online.
One week ago I was searching for a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops, because that is what we were asked to wear to the memorial service.
You see, Nate was unlike most people (you may remember him from basically everywhere for the Rebel Heart rescue – he was the guy who swam with the little girl on his back). He was just an incredibly funny and happy guy who wanted everyone to laugh and have a good time. So while we were heartbroken to say goodbye far too early, we enjoyed a fun party and lots of hilarious stories and memories.
While talking to my kids about Nate and his death, I realized that that would be the best time to throw in some cheesy, corny kid’s jokes. Nate would not have wanted people crying over him, that just wasn’t who he was. So the kids got to laughing hysterically and rolling around while egging each other on for the next joke and then the next.
And I think that Nate would have loved that.
Here are some of the jokes that we used:

–You planet early.

I will definitely be keeping these jokes in rotation. My kids absolutely love to find a sticky note in their lunchbox with a little joke or riddle on it, and these are perfect for that. I hope that you share them with your little loved ones and spread the laughter.
It really, truly is the very best medicine.
