The scene is the dining room. Father, Mother and number one son are sitting around having finished eating.
Mother: Do you remember how you hurt your arm?
Father: I think I fell.
M: Where did you fall?
F: on the steps to the cellar.
M: Where are the steps?
F: they are outside.
M: what's in the cellar?
F: Coal and stuff.
M: what other stuff?
F: chickens.
M: did you get any eggs?
F: No, these are all roosters.
M: Are they pale from being in the dark all the time?
F: No, they all have high blood pressure and are pink.
Son: Does anyone else want a Klondike bar?
Mother skipped it, but father and the son had one and then they retired to the family room and watch the Warriors play poorly.
Author's note. This is as true as I remember it. It was a story worth repeating. Sly twinkles were playing in everyone's eyes.
