A Joke From the Kid

I am sitting in the white chair, writing and listening to Rile Kiley sing "A Better Son/Daughter."

The Kid rushes into the room.

The Kid: Mom! Mom!

Me: (Pulling off my earphone, patiently.  Being a mother who is a writer means constant interruptions. Especially when you have two cats and a dog as well as a Kid.)

The Kid: What do you get when you cross a potato with a penis?

Me: (smiling a little): What?

The Kid: A DICTATOR!

(The Kid laughs hysterically and rushes back to her room.)

She *loves* puns.

"Why don't people think puns are funny?" she demands of me frequently. "Puns are HILARIOUS!!"

Puns are for people who can actually THINK!

The groaner the better.
