Children have no sense of humor. Everything is super serious to them. In case you havent noticed, what passes for humor among kids is pretty childish stuff. Mostly they make fun of each other.In time we grow into mature adults and develop a more sophisticated sense of humor. We can usually tell when people are joking, when theyre not and when theyre just using humor to get a point across.Not anymore. The problem I think is that parents coddle their kids. Bosses coddle their employees. And politicians coddle their constituents. All that coddling stifles the natural maturing process. We never grow up. Were also spending less and less time in the physical presence of others, and nuanced humor is a lot harder to get when youre staring at a tiny screen all day long.More often than not humor just goes right over our heads. Whoosh. There it goes.
