Everyone's a comedian

Since I can't seem to fall asleep at the moment, I thought I would share a few choice exchanges that have occoured recently around here.

After going out for some Chinese to celebrate the news mentioned in the previous post, I thanked my parents for dinner. My dad lost no time and said, in an "about time" sort of voice, "Thanks for getting a job."

While bringing my sister home from her flight my mom suggested that I take over my life insurance now that I have a job lined up. Out of some morbid curiosity I asked my mom how much I am worth dead. She shared the amount to which I said with a smile, "Well, I guess I might as well keep living."

My brother recently got back from a honor band tour in Europe. He had purchesed Swiss Army Knives in Switzerland for family members. On the buss he looked at one of the girls who was on the tour and said, "I've got a knife with your name engraved on it." Nevously, she acknowleged the comment. My brother continued, "But it's for my sister."

I know that there was another exchange I had in my head yesterday for this post. But I can't seem to think of it. Oh well, such is life and life is such.
