I made bruchetta tonight.  This is what we call a flatbread/pizza type thing that has garlic & olive oil 'sauce,' tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella cheese. We're eating at the table when I said, "You know what's really good?" (Of course, I am going to say bruchetta.

Dillon: brasagna?

Charles: Did he just say brasagna?  What exactly is brazagna?

Molly: I don't know, but I bet it's really good.

Dillon: [to Charles] That's what they used to call you, right?

One of Charles' favorite jokes is someone says a crazy word or string of words, like 'raspberry ice tea' and he says "That's what they used to call me when I was dancing." Meaning, dancing at a strip joint, which he has never (to my knowledge) done, but perhaps that's why it's funny.  It was hilarious to us that D picked up on this joke, leading Rose to swing back around to an old favorite…

Rose: Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?  

Everyone else clamors to try to insert punchlines, but she doesn't really get the point.  She just thinks the string of words is hilarious and laughs maniaclly.  The thing you need to know to get the next joke is that our favorite joke these days is: D: Knock Knock!  O: Who's there?  D: Interrupting Cow.  O: Interrupting–  D: MOO!

Charles: [pointedly] Knock knock 

Dillon: Who's there?

Charles: Interuppting knock knock joke…

Rose: Knock Knock!  Who's there?    Knock Knock!  Who's there?   Knock Knock!  Who's there?
