Neil Simon's Got Nothing on this Act

The following dialogue took place as Anna checked her email tonight:

Mike: This is going to be a problem if we have boys.

Anna: What is?

Mike: Once they turn seven they're going to have a more sophisticated sense of humor than their father.

Anna: It's going to be a problem sooner if we have girls.

Mike: Yeah, but they won't be trying to kill me.

Anna: Guess not.

Mike: I have the humor of a two-year-old.

Anna is silent

Mike: I do.

Anna is silent.

Mike is silent.


Anna is silent.

Mike: (chuckles).

Anna is silent.

Mike: Poop. (chuckles again, glances "slyly" at Anna)

Anna is silent.

Mike tries unsuccessfully to fight off a grin.

Anna: HOLY CRAP!

Mike:(innocently) What?

Anna: It's not that you said Poop. (Mike resumes chuckling) It's that you didn't even say it cause you were trying to force a reaction out of me. You said it to crack yourself up. AND IT WORKED!

Mike: I dunno. I'd say your reaction's pretty funny.
