Knock-knock
I decided to try out a "knock-knock" joke, courtesy of my nephew, by way of my sister, on my daughter:
Dorcasina: "Knock, knock"
Daughter: "Who's there?"
Dorcasina: "Cow."
Daughter: "NO. Cows can't come in the house! Let
ME do it!"
{pause}
Daughter: "Knock knock"
Dorcasina: "Who's there?"
Daughter: {shrieking} "GOAT!" (Dissolves into hysterical giggling, as do I)
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ME! AGain! Knock Knock!"
Dorcasina: "Who's there?"
Daughter: "COWS AND GOATS!!! KNOCK KNOCK!!"
Clearly, I am doing something wrong.

This just in....
My sister and favorite correspondent has just sent me the link to
Point Break Live!, description as follows:
Point Break LIVE!, the absurdist stage adaptation of the 1992 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme-sports blockbuster, tells the story of former college football star Johnny Utah (Reeves in the film), as he pursues the surfing, bankrobbing, skydiving, bare-hand-fighting, adrenaline junkie cum Zen Master, Bodhi Sattva. The Brechtian blockbuster, which garnered a "Seattle P-I Best of Seattle 2004" award during its run in the Northwest, features armed robbery, big-wave surfing, car chases, explosions, and no less than two extended skydiving sequences. Best of all, you could be the next Johnny Utah... the starring role of Keanu will be selected at random from the audience each night, and will read their entire script off of cue-cards. This method manages to capture the rawness of a Keanu Reeves performance, even from those who generally think themselves incapable of acting.
This coincides nicely with my favorite description of Keanu's acting ability: "If he had two more legs, he'd be a coffee table."
In other news, my three-year-old nephew, upon hearing that he was to have a sitter, said somewhat resignedly, "Babysitters all wear bras, don't they?"
If you only knew, Little Man. If you
only knew.
