Ah, Memorial Day with the family:
(Kyle, sixteen, and Jacob, thirteen, are my cousins)
Jacob: You guys want to hear a funny quote from [some computer game]?
Everyone: Sure!
Jacob: [Imitating a character from the game] “When I gave him some food, he called me a saint. When I asked him why he didn’t have food of his own, he called me a communist!” [Giggling] Get it?
[Long pause, as we try to make sense of this]
Kyle: Huh. I don’t get it.
[The rest of us concur with Kyle]
Jacob: [Dejectedly] Yeah, I didn’t get it either.
