Sitting down to dinner as a family is really important to me. It can be a rare thing when outdoor soccer is in full swing. But right now, in the heart of off-season, we get to eat together most nights.
My favorite part is the conversation because it can be so random and hysterically funny that we can barely get through the meal! We always try to do "best/worst." Everyone tells the best and worst of their day. Great conversation starter.
Last night Richard comes home with 3 jokes to share. We were laughing before he told them because he had to write the punch lines down on a sticky note - that's how bad of a joke teller he is. Here's one of them that cracked us up:
When you go into the bathroom, you're American.
When you come out of the bathroom, you're American.
What are you while you're in there?
(wait for it)
Your-a-peein. (European, get it???)
Then Josh had this one:
An orphan is looking for his parents. Should he follow the road or the river?
Ready for this?
Neither. An orphan doesn't have parents.
There were a lot of others and it just deteriorates into trying to make up a joke as you go along. That reminded me of when the kids were little. They would start out telling a knock-knock joke they had heard. They would end up making up jokes that made no sense but would laugh at each other until they couldn't breathe!!
It's good to laugh. It's good to know that the worst part of my day was cleaning the bathroom and the best part was being in jammy pants all day with no bra on.
It doesn't get much better than this!
