Van Conversation

"Hey Mark, these are great books your kids have back here in the van."
"Yeah, I love being a dad so I get to read my favorite children's books to my kids"
"So you read books to your kids... like a bedtime story or something?"
"Yeah, pretty much every night"
"So your family is kind of like one of those TV families?"
"I guess ... it may be hard to believe, but some parents still hang out and read books to their kids."

Ever heard this one before?

I just dropped Jamison off at school today and was driving off when I saw a car stopped and a woman standing beside it looking warily into the door. I rolled down my window and asked if I could help her. She said, "I was driving along when I felt something moving inside of the seat of my car behind me. When I stopped and got out, I saw the head of a raccoon poking out of a hole in the upholstery." Does this kind of thing happen anywhere outside of our city?
