Dara and her humor

Dara has the best sense of humor of any teenager I know. First, our horse shoer is not only our horse shoer, but he's her karate instructor. He has a bonifide mullet. The "party" in the back is only down to his collar. The first day back for her, he had his "party" in a pony tail...it was about an inch long. Dara had the best laugh about that. When class started, she made a comment about him having a pony tail and her's being longer. So it went from that to her telling him he looked like...he stopped her and said oh you aren't about to say Billy Ray Cyrus (not sure how to spell it). So he said drop and give me 50. (Push ups and other exercise movements are the ways they punish the kids for being disrespectful, not paying attention in class, being rude, etc.) She told him no...of course they both were laughing. So the whole time during their stretches he was counting 1 Billy Ray Cyrus, 2 Billy Ray Cyrus, 3 Billy Ray Cyrus, etc. It was the funniest thing. She was relentless with him about it. So, when class was over they have to salute the flag and their instructors, and recite their oath and tenet, and then after they they shake hands with them. So as she was walking up to him, she was humming "Achey, Breaky, Heart". He absolutely doubled over laughing.

At the end of last week, she told me that she needed money for lunch. So, I put money in her account through their website. Dara and I were in the car with my mom and sister, and they got to talking about Dara not having any lunch money and me adding to her account. My mom asked her why she didn't have any money in her account, and Dara said that she buys lunch for 7 kids. I knew she was kidding, but they didn't. So, Dara went on and on about buying them lunch. My mom and sister fell for the whole bit. Then on Sat. we went to the bank, and Mom proceed to tell me that she was so proud of Dara for doing that, but she really needed to stop. I told her that Dara was just kidding. She asked me if I knew it all along, and told her well yea.

Yep, you should've been there because it was a lot funnier in person. I don't know where she gets her humor, but she is one of the funniest teens I know.
