Irony?

Dad: Do you want to listen to this band daddy likes? They're called Noah and the Whale.

The Boy: Sure. But why are they called Noah and the Whale? That's not the story. It should be Jonah.

D: You're right. I guess maybe they're just being silly.

TB: Nah, I don't think so. It doesn't sound silly to me.

D: Well, maybe they're being ironic.

TB: Yeah...probably.

Marble Jar

Mom: Thank you for being such a good boy this month.
The Boy: You're welcome, Mommy.
Mom: See how fast your marble jar fills up when you are a good boy? Aren't you so excited to have your new fish?
The Boy: Yeah. Mama? The next time I fill up my marble jar, can I have a brother or sister?
Mom: Well, it's a little more complicated than that, baby. Mama might not be able to have another baby.
The Boy: Mom, all we have to do is go to one of those places that have kids that don't have mommies or daddies. You know, like in Annie? I think it's called the pound or somethin. Can we please get one the next time I fill my marble jar? Please?!

World's Greatest Dad?

Mom: Happy Father's Day early, "Daddy."
The Boy: Yes! Happy Father's Day!
Mom: Isn't Daddy the best in the whole world?
The Boy: Well...maybe not the best, but he is pretty good.
