Inappropriate Parenting

So, the other night, we were sitting at the dinner table and I tried to tell Bean a joke. Only, he didn’t understand it. Chris and I quickly realized that he didn’t know how to tell a joke! Parenting fail.

I continue on with dinner conversation with the kids about school that day, and suddenly Chris interrupts us, yelling, “I’VE GOT IT!”
