Laughed? I nearly Cried...

Sitting at the dinner table this evening, Mrs. Sergei and I ask Ivanovitch Jr about his day at school.

"Fine" comes the reply.

"Any more detail?"

"Well, our teacher asked us to find out whether we have anything 'Bombproof' at home, and write about it for homework."

Thinking quickly, and with my usual wit, I answer "What about Mummy and Daddy's marriage? That's bombproof."

"Naaahhh...I mean something that works "

Scraping ourselves off the floor, Mrs. Sergei and I can't explain to him exactly what was so funny about what he said.

You had to be there.
