Johnny and Lucy got engaged shortly before our annual family vacation, and Johnny joined us in the Ozarks for a couple of days. Apparently Johnny is unable to pass a fence without attempting it to jump over it. When Johnny tried to jump the fence by the pool, however, the fence won. Johnny ended up with a pretty painful and swollen ankle as a result of the encounter.
Henry was interested in Johnny's injury, as well as the motivations for trying to jump a fence, generally. Johnny was explaining that there would come a time in Henry's life when Henry would want to jump fences, too, but Henry was not buying it. Henry scolded, "Johnny, there's a gate!" After a beat he added, "There's two gates!"

About Me
- Emily
- My maternal grandmother had 10 children. Somehow she managed to find the time to write down the funny things her kids said over the years. These writings came to be known as the "funny book." Her oldest child, my mother, kept the tradition alive by writing her own funny book to record all the cute - and sometimes weird- things that my four sisters and I said and did as we grew up. After several years of being remiss in my duties as recorder of all things funny for my own family, I started this blog as the modern version of the funny book. I hope you enjoy it.
