Lost in translation

I am aware that the promised update is not up yet, but I must exonerate the bookworm immediately.

On Thursday, my sweet six year old told her aunt a joke she supposedly was told by her sister:

Why did the pig follow the chicken across the road?

answer? HE WANTED SEX

I was furious. How could my angelic seeming Bookworm tell her little sis such a dirty joke? Where did she hear it? I could not WAIT to get her home from Grandma's house to castigate her. HOW DARE SHE right?

After much confusion and righteous indignation, I finally got the real joke out of her.



Why did the chicken follow the piggyBANK across the road?

the real answer?

He wanted CENTS

Hee. So glad there was a logical explanation, there.

HUGS to you, dear.

Just read your comment at Rude Cactus about the senseo...the same thing happened to mine yesterday!! I checked on the senseo site and:
Why is the lever stuck in a locked position causing the lid not to open?
The pod holder is probably blocked, and may require cleaning. A vacuum may have temporarily formed under the lid. Turn the machine off, pull the lever up as far it will go and wait 24 hours before opening. Use a soft brush or a toothpick to remove the coffee grounds trapped in the coffee pod holder. If the problem persists, contact Customer Care at: SENSEO.US@Philips.com

I have to say... I think I like the joke better the way your 6-year-old told it.

And BWAH!
