Christmas Humor

You know how all families have their Christmas traditions and funny stories? And how certain family members seem to get picked on more than others? Well, poor Dad gets the brunt of a lot of teasing in this family.

We went out and got our tree today, so we were discussing the annual tradition of mom and dad giving the kids an ornament each year for Christmas. Let's just say some have been winners, some haven't.

So, around the table, the boys were talking about Christmas ornaments, and Ryan mentioned something about the ornaments that DAD picked out this year. Ryan was with him when he picked them out, so he knows what they are. He sort of hinted to Jacob that he just might be less-than-thrilled about the ornaments this year.

Innocently, Jacob said out loud, "Why, what are they - bulbs?" Well Ryan and I looked at each other and just busted out laughing - he and I both know that is exactly what they are! (we typically tried to pick out something that was a reminder of the year, you know, like a cool Harry Potter, or Spiderman or something, but not usually bulbs).

This conversation just kept escalating, and Jacob unknowingly kept insulting the ornaments - saying things like , "well, it can't be that bad - not like it has glitter on it or something!" which then elicited more laughter. Poor Dad, he just sat there and wondered why on earth he ever picked out these ornaments...

Well, better luck next year dear!! haha
