Dinner Conversations

We had some good chats at the dinner table this evening, so we thought we'd share some of the witty humor that was passed around.

Conversation #1 - Always
Jean: I've got to go Visiting Teaching at 6 tonight.
Danny: You have to go again?
Jean: Always. I go every month. I need to go visit people and make sure they're doing OK and help them if they're not.
Danny: Always?
Bob: Yeah, it's kind of like Wal-Mart.
Jean: (Rolls her eyes and smirks. 2 seconds of silence).
Danny: (Audible laughter). It is like Wal-Mart! Always low prices. Always.

There are two things that one can deduct from this conversation: 1 - Danny is a bright boy and was able to pick-up on his Dad's humor even when his mother didn't want to acknowledge that anything funny was said. 2 - Bob's humor is designed for 6-year-olds. Both are true.

Conversation #2 - A-B Patterns
Danny: Can I have some more cake?
Bob: No. You need to eat more dinner before you have more cake.
Danny: More dinner!?!?
Rachel: Yeah, Danny. It's like an A-B pattern. A, you eat your dinner, then B, you get dessert.
Jean: (Laughter) You're funny, girl!
Danny: I want to follow a B-B pattern. Eat dessert, then eat more dessert.

Here's an A-B pattern for ya - A, Rachel says something insightful and amusing, B everybody laughs. The end.
