Thalia of Cyprus — The Girl Who Laughs Before the Punchline

Thalia of Cyprus — The Girl Who Laughs Before the Punchline

Age: 11     Region: Europe

Thalia has a terrible habit.

She laughs at jokes before they're finished.

She knows she shouldn't.

She tries not to.

But somewhere around the middle, she figures out where the joke is going, and that's it.

She's gone.

Her best friend insists this ruins everything.

Thalia insists it makes the joke twice as funny because then everyone starts laughing at her laughing.

This argument remains unresolved.

At eleven, Thalia has developed a reputation for finding amusement in places other people completely overlook.

A spoon falling off the table.

Her brother trying to whisper and accidentally snorting.

Someone confidently walking into the wrong classroom.

The very serious voice her father uses when he is pretending not to be annoyed.

Thalia collects these moments like other people collect souvenirs...

Her dream: To become a writer and create adventures where every child can find someone a little like themselves.

Her wonder: “How can a story show you a world you've never seen?”
