One of the many joys I take in being the parent of a ten year old boy is finding new ways to make him laugh or think a little differently about questions and things in the world. I’ve used these techniques over the years:
===
Misconstrue bere galderak:
Bere: Zer egun da?
Dad: Ko Asteazkena bezperan.
S: Ez, zer eguna hilaren da?
D: Oh, dena 4 Jan ondoren egun 25.
===
Tickle zion, eta esan zion gelditzeko denean, barre egiten zuen geldialdiak egingo zara.

Joan eskaileretatik behera Telebista gela eta iragarriko, "It’s good to be the daddy." Gero, pick up zion sofan lekuen beroa lortzeko eta kanal aldatzeko zerbait ona, Scifi kanal bezala.
===
Read stories out loud. Insert ridiculous sentences in the middle of the story. My favorite is to add "killing him instantly" when the main characters encounters some minor trouble. Adibidez, "the knife slipped in his hand, bere indizea hatz ebaketa, hura hil eta berehala." Nothing quite gets your son out of a complacent and passive listening mode as the main character being killed instantly.
===
Read stories incorrectly. Read sentences backward. The best part of this is that the first couple of times I did this, my son thought he was helping me out by pointing out that I wasn’t reading the words in the right order. The down side is that he really doesn’t want me to read to him any more.
===
Go to Burger King for lunch. My son would eat BK morning, night and day if we let him. When going, kontatu zion, "I know you hate going there, but we simply have no choice." When he tries to explain that he loves BK, talk over him and say things like "We don’t have time to argue about it! We’re going and I don’t want to have a discussion!"
(Honek gogorarazten dit nire Borg gogoko txantxa du: "Borger King: We do it our way. Your way is irrelevant." hahaha!)
===
Ireki liburu bat, orriaren 9 eta esan, "hmm, that’s an odd page".
===
Fill the world with arch enemies. "We’re going to run quick over toe 7-11, arch-enemy of 11-7".
"Your aunt lives in Ringwood, arku to Squarewood herriko etsaia."
===
Sortu gidatuko dugu Massachusetts New Jersey-tik hainbat aldiz urte bat hartzen du, eta, askotan, buruz 5 hours door to door. As we arrive home and pull into the driveway say, "oh, Ahaztu dut, to Home horiek marra azkar bat egin behar dugu."
===
Noiz TV show batean, indarkeriazko pasarte bat ikusi (besteak beste, Heroes gisa), esan zure semea, "some times, lanean, I need to destroy my enemies by burning them alive using the powers of my mind. I don’t like doing it, baina, zer egin behar duzu behar duzu."
===
Noiz txarra beldurrezko filmak behaketa (see "It’s good to be the Daddy" Goiko), ascribe improbable motives to the evil character. Esate baterako, tell your son that the reason Jason is so angry is because he wants some cake and they won’t let him have any.
===
Explain phone numbers incorrectly. Instead of telling your son to dial "201-111-2222", tell him it’s "2-011-1-12222".
