My brother was sort of odd. I remember once on his birthday he fell down a dry well, so we lowered his birthday cake to him.
He didn't even tug on the rope to say thanks.
Little boy to a departing relative... "There's no hurry, Auntie. Daddy put the clock a whole hour ahead."
Son: "Dad, what is 'creeping inflation'?"
Father: "It's when your mother starts out asking for new shoes and ends up with a complete new outfit."
"What does your mother do for a headache?"
"She sends me out to play."
