You may have heard this one already, but I had not. Heard it Sunday after our winery trip. We went to a friends house for a cookout, band practice/performance, etc. Complete chaos the moment we arrived - they have 8 kids from 23 to 3 with all but the oldest still living there. A few of my we're-not-having-kids friends were uncomfortable with the chaos.... me? I was the one tying the water balloons for the kids and directing the attacks
Of course it was only a matter of time before said arms dealer got his comeuppance
It was one of those evenings that makes me realize that I'm missing something by remaining single - even amongst the chaos I could appreciate the closeness of the family. I do not know how they manage this on a daily basis, but they have one very special family.
So, anyway..... where was I?
Oh yeah - a joke. Sorry, I'll get right to it.
It was told by Sam - the chit-disturbing 5th grader - truly his fathers son
. Voted the wittiest 5th grader at his school.
After destroying his sisters large stuffed horse doll, he was wearing the cleaned out horse head as a mask. When the band stopped to take a break, Sam took the stage. Announced himself over the PA as a "hor .... sss". To a "Sam" from his father. Undeterred Sam told the following joke:
Q: What is the difference between a refrigerator and a prison roommate?
A: The refrigerator doesn't fart when you pull your meat out of it.
This time he got the full "Sammuel!" from his father (whose laugh took all the sting out of the full name usage)
I suppose it was the delivery from a 5th grader wearing a horse head on stage that made it funny. We had to sit back and wonder if he truly comprehended the material, or just repeated it because he knew people laughed at it. I think the answer would likely scare me
Contrary to the material above (or because of?) - they really are great kids. Wonderful chaos it was.
