“Dad, where did Mother go tonight?”
Asked the father’s youngest son Ben.
“To a Tupperware party”, he said,
“She should be home around ten.”
“What’s a Tupperware party?
What do mothers do there?”
Ben asked, looking at his father
With an, “I don’t believe you, Dad!” stare.
“They sit around drinking coffee
And sell plastic bowls to each other.”
Ben burst out laughing and said,
“Dad, don’t joke around, where’s Mother?”
