time to misbehave

What? How do you not know any jokes?

I don't like hearing them or telling them.

What if this one is better than the one I just said?

I still doubt I want to hear it, but since you're being persistent, go ahead.

No. I’m older than that. How old are you? Forty?

Okay, thirteen. There's no way you're older than thirteen.

Oh, come on! There’s got to be a real joke that you find funny!

I don't even know any real jokes. 

I’m not twelve!

Sorry, eleven?

Sounds a bit off is all.

Well, you shouldn't be one to judge. It gives you wrinkles.

I think that’s my favorite joke. It’s funny and it involves a cookie. Do you have a favorite joke?

Well, at least the fact that it involved a cookie is true. Me? Yeah, this town.

I was just making sure!

Well, don't you worry your unwashed, curly head, because I'd never lie to a twelve-year-old. That's just in bad taste. 

Really? Does that mean you wanna hear another pun?

No. No, I really don't want to hear another.

Okay, okay. Why did the cookie go to the doctor? [doesn’t even wait for him to respond] Because he was feeling crummy! [giggles]

...Wow. That sure was something.

Thank you. Get to know me better, I actually get a lot funnier.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind as I try extra hard to get to know you.

You have an eye for jokes?

That is what I said, isn't it?

So you honestly think it was funny? You aren’t lying, are you?

Me, lie? I would never.

Well, thank you! Want me to tell another joke?

You know what? Go ahead.

It’s like you were expecting my joke to flop. How rude, darling.

It could be because I was. I have an eye for that sort of thing.

Thank you.

You're welcome.
