Viva still does not quite have the hang of jokes. Examples:
Viva: Tell me a joke, Mom.
Mama: Uh, okay, let's see, um -- why did the man throw the clock out the window?
Viva: Why?
Mama: Because he wanted to see time fly.
Viva: [smiling politely because she doesn't get it] Now I'll tell you a joke -- why did the man throw the book out the window? [before I can answer] Because the closet wouldn’t open! Ah ha ha ha!
Mama: Ha ha, good one.
Viva: Mom! Mom! What do you call a bear with no shoes and socks on?
Mama: What, sweetie?
Viva: Barefoot.
Mama: Ah, yes [realizing that she has heard this joke on Little Bill].
Viva: Here's another one. What do you call a flower with no shoes and socks on?
Mama: I don't know, what --
Viva: Stinky plant! [cracks up, falling over herself laughing]
Well, she's no Richard Pryor, but me loves her anyhoo.

I kinda like "stinky plant"!! She's a comedian in the making. Viva the Comedian. Sounds familiar, no?
She is really a clown. Actually, that's what she wants to be for Halloween.
