Conversations with Breckin: Pulling a Henry

December 1, 2008

Breckin told his first joke this weekend. To be completely truthful, it wasn’t a great joke. But, he was laughing so hysterically at himself that I had to laugh too. In our family, telling a terrible joke is called “pulling a Henry” in honor of Henry. Henry lives by the philosophy that a bad joke is better than no joke at all. Apparently Breckin has also adopted this philosophy. Anyway, on to the best joke Breckin has ever told. (Really, you had to be there)

Breckin: Hey mommy! What does the poker say?
Me: I don’t know Breckin, what?
Breckin: POKE! (as he simultaneously pokes himself in the eye and dies laughing)
