Humor is like a special kind of game people play. Some people love jokes that are silly, like when a dog says 'I’m hungry' and then eats a whole cake. Others prefer jokes that make them think, like when someone says they're going to the moon just for ice cream. This happens because different parts of our brain light up when we laugh or think about a joke.
Examples
- A kid laughs at a cartoon dog falling off a cliff.
- An adult snickers at a clever pun about math.
- A teenager groans at a joke that's been told for years.
