I got the joke Dada!!

Richie was 30 weeks old, almost close to his 7 month mark. He was playing with the ball holding it between his legs and passing it to his hands with great diligence. I and my hubby were talking and happened to joke about something and we were in laughter. Hearing us, Richie also started laughing (shouting loudly) as if he too had got the joke. This was the first time he was laughing so spontaneously upon hearing us laugh loudly. It was funny!! :) And did we think he was happily playing alone? He was keenly listening to what mom and dad were talking. I had read that babies start participating in adult jokes at this age. I experienced it myself too.
