Anything else you'd like to say?

He was getting tired of the interview, but his mind was still on the topic of Daddy telling him jokes so he said: I have a joke for you. Maybe a person can go to bed and watch a movie in bed, then eat popcorn, before even eating dinner! ...and he followed the "joke" by doing this huge fake laugh & hoping we'd laugh along. *this is something he really hopes will happen and is probably thinking that if he phrases it as a joke, we'll actually go along with it.

Smart boy. Funny boy. We're so happy he's our boy.
