I was at the doctor for the 6-month checkup on my twins today. They asked if we had any questions about them.
I said, "How do you get them to sleep?"
They laughed.
I followed up with a joke, and what I was trying to say was, "Bonk them on the head with a mallet?" but what came out instead was, "Hit them with a hammer?"
Silence.
I quickly corrected, "Like a rubber mallet, I mean..."
Nothing.
After they left the room, my wife asked me not to threaten to hit our kids with a mallet in front of the staff anymore. So apparently I'm the only one who found it funny... Whatever, I stand by it.
