Reuben: “Mommy, you’ll have to cross your legs when you sit down on the floor. This was what Mrs Lai taught us in school.”
*No response from mommy, who was sitting with legs stretched out on the floor .*
Reuben: ” Look at my legs, mommy! You ought to cross them like this! Come on, try it!”
Mommy: “I can’t do it.”
Reuben: ” You can! Just do it like me!”
Mommy: “You can do it easily because your legs are young.”
*Lame excuse….*
Papa interrupted: “Tell mommy to look at my legs.”
*Papa was sitting cross-legged like Reuben.*
Reuben: “Look mommy, papa can cross his legs too! You can cross your legs!!”
Mommy: “Papa’s legs are young too.”
*Reuben stared at papa’s legs for a moment.*
Then he blurted out: “Makes no sense!!”
*The whole family rolled on the floor with laughter.*
