Jokes

Jackie, at the dinner table:  "Mom, do you want to know why the people in Veggie Tales are veggies?"

Me:  "Why?"

Jackie:  "Because they're veggies."

Me:  "Hmmm . . . Could someone pass the ketchup?"

A few minutes later:

Jackie:  "Mom, do you want to know why the people in Veggie Tales are veggies?"

Me, with a smile:  "Because they're vegetables."

Jackie, emphatically, drawn out, and with a hearty giggle at her own joke:  "No, because they're VEGGIES!"

I've learned over the years that an important part of motherhood is being able to laugh on demand.

That, and also pretending you know exactly what your child has drawn when they show you a picture.
