Surreal

Isaac has little friends that come over randomly - their parents allow them to roam freely and enter strangers' houses at will, and they tend to spend lots of time here. They range in age from 4 to 11. I'm listening to them tell jokes right now, and here is a sample.

"Why did the dog chase the cat across the road?"
"Why?"
"Because he wanted to toot in the cat's face!"
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

"Why did the chicken put his cactuses on his butt?"
"Why?"
"Because he thought one of them was Velma!!"
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Indeed.
