Oh Boy

Riley came to me the other day with a joke. Thinking it would be a silly kid joke that I have probably heard before I appeased him and let him tell it. He told me that after every question he asked me I was to answer ketchup and liquor. Very hesitant and not remembering any kid joke that had ketchup and liquor in it I told him to go ahead. What do you eat for breakfast? Ketchup and liquor. What do you eat for lunch? Ketchup and liquor. What do you eat for dinner? Ketchup and liquor. (here comes the punch line) What do you do when you see a lady crossing the street?..... Hmmm. If you don't get it, think about it....Sooo... After I was able to close my jaw and erase the total shock off my face, I got him to tell his dad. Let's just say that when Dwayne was able to put himself back together, he sat down with Riley and explained to him that those types of jokes are not very nice and some people might be offended by them. I asked him where he heard that joke and he told me from some boys at school. I guess this is a sign that he is getting older and no matter how much you want your kids to live in the bubble you create for them, there are always outside forces that are slowly breaking through that bubble.
