(she lifts up her shirt and exposes her belly)
Me: Arwyn keep your clothes on please.
Arwyn: No Mommy, I want you to feel the baby in my belly move. I have a baby Evie in my belly. (Evie is her new little cousin)
Me: I would love to feel your baby Evie.

(Breckin had just hit Arwyn in the stomach)
Arwyn: (crying) MOMMY! Breckin hit me in the tummy and now my baby in my belly is crying. Make him sit in time-out!

Me: What?
Breckin: My bowling pin rolled on top of the fridge!
Me: What?
Breckin: My bowling pin rolled and rolled up the side of the fridge and now it is on top!
Me: Breckin, did you throw the bowling pin on top of the fridge?
Breckin: No.
Me: So, okay….the bowling pin rolled all of the way up the side of the fridge all by itself?
Breckin: Yes.
Me: I don’t think that is what happened. You won’t get into trouble for throwing it up there. I don’t want you to do it again, but you won’t get into trouble. You will get into trouble for lying to Mommy though. So, did you throw the bowling pin on top of the fridge?
Breckin: Yes.

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)
