Kids are funny.

Kids enjoy laughing and are seldom bored when they find something funny. They also ask questions, often to adults, because they understand that the more words they can comprehend about a funny story or a joke, the more they'll enjoy it.

I think I knew I was funny in Elementary School. I think most funny people realize it when they're young. It tends to come out of stress or trauma - something that makes you want to be funny.

Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.

I know how to make adults laugh pretty well. I don't know if kids think I'm that funny.

I think there's a notion in our society, and it may be valid, that people aren't as funny when they get older. It's a stigma still attached to the rebelliousness of youth.

Humor is the oxygen of children's literature. There's a lot of competition for children's time, but even kids who hate to read want to read a funny book.

If you watch kids looking at something on television, even something that's produced for them and is supposed to be funny, what you'll notice is that they don't laugh.

I remember being fascinated by the very nature of comedy from the age of 10; why is this funny, and that isn't?

It's hysterical how kids have their own personalities, even at like 3 or 4. And, it's funny what they tend to like.
