Memory Play Puns

"Was it called "In Honor of Elizabeth Reed" back then?

The only campus I am allowed to visit rn is the hippocampus. Alexa, play memories 🧠

One of my earliest memories is seeing my mother’s face through the oven window. As we played hide and seek and she said, “You’re getting warmer.” (h/t Milton Jones)

Years ago, when I had to memorize the countries and capitals of the world for middle school social studies, my dad was helping me study. He tried to come up with a jingle, rhyme, or memory trick for all the ones I was having trouble with. His trick for remembering that Doha is the capital of Qatar was "Doha know how to play the Qatar?" (Don't you know how to play the guitar?). It was so hilariously bad that we still laugh about it whenever Qatar comes up in the news.

So this week he chose to make cards for each word. He made two cards for each word and made a Memory game out of them.

We are playing memory and I find the word "Joke" on one paper. I look at my son and say "Hey, you want to hear a joke?" and start to rattle the paper in front of him.

Then when I found the matching card, I said "Hey, want to hear the other joke?"
