Bonding is no joke

I have to drive the kids around ALOT these days - sending to school, picking up etc. Dad helps too. Inadvertently I still spend alot of time with them in the car.

Sometimes there are moments of silence when we only have the music playing. I try to fill these with questions about school, friends, movies etc. Most of the answers are "Good", or "Don't know".

This morning, I told Shannon the joke about the 3 mental patients who were being tested before being discharged from the hospital. I made it as funny as I could. She responded, "I can't finish my bread!".

I need to learn more jokes - maybe I'll make it a routine to learn one joke a day for the morning trip out.
