Today's featured daily humor:
I Cup - seven year old caught me off guard and I couldn't be happier. Kid is carpooling to camp today. I see them off. Waves waves kisses kisses - bye! I jam inside to start work. \~20 minutes later I'm *deep* into a technical task. Call comes in from their watch. Just about the time they'd be arriving to camp. Oh no. Unusual. Reptile brain kicks in - flat tire? accident? sick? am I going to have to drop everything and get in my car to race to camp? "Hey buddy, what's up?" "I've got a joke." Can instantly tell there's not a problem. Phew!! My brain switches gears in order to get to a mental save-point back in my work. "How do you spell I cup?" -- Half thinking and trying to be clever I say, e-y-e c-u-p. "No Dad, the other I." -- "Oh..." I say, then proceed with the punchline, walking right into it. The joke wasn't even new to me. I give out a super legitimate laugh, mostly at the fact of how off-guard I was, while my kid thinks they just pulled off a great joke. Win-win!!
