Conversation in the car today
September 19, 2006
“Mom, what do you give a dog that has a fever?” my ten year old asks me as we are driving.
“Uh, wow, I really have no idea. I’m sure that there is some kind of dog tylenol or something. Do dogs even get fevers? I am sorry I have no idea.” I answer.
“I heard that it’s ketchup.” he says.
“Really? Ketchup? I find that somewhat hard to believe.” I answer. I hate when they quiz me with these questions because the two of them are walking trivia depositories. I think they frequently ask me questions for the sole purpose of proving their superior knowledge.
“No, it isn’t ketchup. It’s mustard.” my 9 year old pipes up.
“Mustard? What?”
“ketchup…mustard, the perfect thing for a hot dog.” the both yell in unison, “Get it?!?!”

Bwahaha!
(Remind me not to let my kids hear that one, or I will never hear anything else as long as I live! — well, at least for the next few days!)

September 19th, 2006 at 11:19 pmMy boys sing songs from PHC’s Katsup Advisory Board whenever someone is cranky. I think they do it more to annoy and already cranky person but I have to chuckle along with them.
September 19th, 2006 at 11:24 pmHA! That’s funny. That’s really funny.
September 19th, 2006 at 11:30 pmwell, maybe it’s the sleep deprivation but my husband and I both laughed out loud. Thanks, boys!
September 19th, 2006 at 11:31 pmThat was pretty funny!
September 19th, 2006 at 11:42 pmI’m totally nailing Jonathan with that one tomorrow. I’ve become an 8 year old
September 19th, 2006 at 11:45 pmHate to say it, but that one had me laughing out loud!
September 19th, 2006 at 11:46 pmToo cute! :o)
September 19th, 2006 at 11:48 pmyuk yuk yuk
September 19th, 2006 at 11:53 pmHahaaa…. that is soooooo FUNNY!!! This makes me laugh out loud!
I think those little kiddos know that their momma was a little bit tired and wants to cheer her up.
Funny kids!
September 20th, 2006 at 4:50 amHaa haa haa, that is funny, I wonder if my 9 and 11 year olds know it yet.
September 20th, 2006 at 7:14 amI see a future in standup comedy here. Maybe you have the next Penn and Teller…
September 20th, 2006 at 8:17 am*groans* We’re still on the “What’s brown and sticky?” joke.
(A stick.)
September 20th, 2006 at 8:45 amoh, my lord, that absolutely cracked me up…
September 20th, 2006 at 8:46 amHa ha! I love that I totally fell for it.
September 20th, 2006 at 8:53 amI think I would have laughed, but in secret, wouldnt want them to know I thought they were funny
September 20th, 2006 at 8:54 amFunny or not (it’s funny), the scary thing is now they’re ganging up on you with their trivia-disguised jokes. That, my friend, is frightening.
September 20th, 2006 at 9:24 amdammit that was funny.
September 20th, 2006 at 9:45 amI have to share that one with my dh, he loves jokes that he can share with kids!
September 20th, 2006 at 9:51 amIt’s official: I want to move in with you guys.
September 20th, 2006 at 10:00 amok - here is the one my son told me today (can’t resist):
What does a farmer say when he’s lost his tractor?
Answer: “where’s my tractor?”
So sily that I keep laughing when I think about how hard he laughed!
September 20th, 2006 at 10:44 amoh thats smooth. real smooth.
September 20th, 2006 at 10:46 amI like that they tag teamed you.
Very clever kids.
September 20th, 2006 at 11:04 amCan I have your kids? They’re so awesome.
September 20th, 2006 at 11:18 amThey gotcha! I am TOTALLY telling that joke at the dinner table tonight and I will get the funniest mom of the year award!
September 20th, 2006 at 11:49 amLong time lurker…first time commenter. Had to chime in and share my nephew’s current favorite joke…
What’s red and smells like blue paint?
Answer: Red paint
Heh. Kids are awesome aren’t they? Can’t wait to have my own!
September 20th, 2006 at 11:50 amWow, well scripted and prepared - I’m impressed. And my co-workers think I am smoking crack because I am laughing my head off at that one and Julie’s farmer/tractor joke!
September 20th, 2006 at 12:00 pmthe sad part is that I’m now thinking kid jokes are truly funny.
Yeah, my brain is g-o-n-e.
Thank your kids for my giggle today!
September 20th, 2006 at 12:22 pmThey TOTALLY got you, ha ha ha, that’s too funny!
September 20th, 2006 at 12:30 pmOnce again proving my theory that the mother’s brain cells are siphoned into the child in utero.
And that, my friends, is why I’m stopping at four.
September 20th, 2006 at 12:32 pmLove it — love kids jokes in general.
Here’s one my kids have been telling — not as subtle, but a clean dog joke.
Why did the cowboy get a dachshound?
Because he heard the other cowboys say “get a long little doggie”
hee hee. It sounds better when told in person by a bright eyed seven year old.
September 20th, 2006 at 12:33 pmThat’s actually pretty funny. How did you NOT get that Chris? Duh!
September 20th, 2006 at 12:44 pmI can’t wait to get my kid with that one.
September 20th, 2006 at 1:08 pmI’d say they are very good at getting your goat. You better watch out! Of course, after you have picked yourself up from the floor from laughing so hard.
September 20th, 2006 at 2:31 pmOooh, that’s bad.
September 20th, 2006 at 2:56 pmHaHaHaHaHaHa! That was a good one! They got you, didn’t they?
September 20th, 2006 at 4:17 pmhey! that was great! What clever kids you’ve got!
September 20th, 2006 at 7:12 pmThat’s soo great! I love your kids. Soo funny.
September 20th, 2006 at 8:59 pmPerfect joke to share with my 8 year old! Very cute, and your boys are too funny! (slapping knee) LOL…
September 20th, 2006 at 10:29 pmI love it! I love jokes that 2 people are in on. My grandpa (and then my dad) always did/do this joke with someone else:
1: I’ve got a goat in the basement without a nose.
2: A goat without a nose? How’s it smell?
1: Terrible!
hahahahaha. I love it. It’s not funny, but I love it.
September 20th, 2006 at 10:52 pmNICE!!! I love kids jokes, they’re so weird.
