OK it is seeming that Dd1has a really cool sense of humor (at least in my oppinion) Since Dh discovered that one of the best ways to snap her out of a screaming fit is to run through this series of questions.
Dh "what is your name?"
Dd1 "B..."
Dh "what is your cereal number?"
Dd1 "300 frosted flakes" (she came up with this on her own. LOL!)
Dh "what is the mean air speed of a coconut laden swallow?"
Dd1 "African or European?" (dh did teach her that part after she kept answering "I don't know" and it seemed to help with the fits.)

We are getting ready for a weekend trip where Dd will be the only SN kiddo, there will be another SN adult but he is older then my step father. Some of my step father's family are pretty straight laced and some of them might get a kick out of a kid doing Python jokes.

But if a kiddo likes a good Python joke would you teach them other python jokes (that are age appropriate of course) to help with their off moods? Would you keep the routine private?

I'm kicking around teaching Dd1 some more python jokes, but, I'm trying to figure out how to handle it around others. There are some jokes (like from world of warcraft) that Dd1 knows need to stay in the house since other mom's on our street would frown upon a kid knowing about that game, let alone being able to rattle off the various racial histories.

OK I'm going to quit rambling now.

TIA

Cute! I love it.

I would go ahead and teach more jokes.

Love it.

Teaching children about Monty Python is a must in my parenting book

Then again, to calm down my just-turned-4 yr old dd, we play songs about rum and death (she's a Great Big Sea fan, lol!)

LOL! OK I feel better now.

Looks like as of today any minor injuries that she gets worked up about get the "it's just a flesh wound!" response. Seems to get her snapped back to reality pretty quick and it has the bonus of her giggling. I want her to giggle more. She needs to giggle more it's so cute and infectious.

I was watching some Python clips on youtube.com and the "It's and ex parrot!" part of the dead parrot sketch got her rolling as well. She was walking around for a little bit saying it over and over in between giggle fits.

Yay for us odd balls!
