William: Hey Mom.  Mom.  MOM.
Mama: Huh? Oh.  What is it William?
William: I just need to tell you something.
Mama: Sure.  I'm listening now.  With both ears.
William: I don't really believe in Santa.
Mama: You don't?  Ok.
William: Yes.  I'm sure I don't believe in Santa.  You know, unless he is listening right now.
Mama: Seems like a good plan.

Across the Thanksgiving table as people were just starting to fill their plates, Amelia decided it was time to tell her joke.  Keep in mind there are 22 people squeezed in and around this table.  (and now, it just occurs to me that I'm not sure who she originally told the joke to.  My Grandma Nona answered Amelia in the end, but I'm not sure who Amelia meant to be telling the joke to)

Amelia: What is more important, your health or your wealth?
Grandma Nona: Well, that one is easy.  Your health is more important than any money.
Amelia: Well, then give me 50 bucks*!
(everyone around her laughs heartily.  Amelia looks stunned and then a little pleased with herself.  Grandma asks her to repeat the punch line and Amelia complies with a Cheshire cat smile on her face.)

* This is most certainly from a joke book, although I'm not sure which one.  We've been obessessed with jokes and puns lately and have checked out many joke/pun/riddle books from the library recently.
**Also note, I am 100% certain that Amelia doesn't have any idea what 50 bucks means or that it refers to money.  She would really have no idea what the value of $50 has.

William: Hey.  Could someone pass me the organ-al Hidden V@lley Ranch please?
Daddy: It isn't organ-al William.  It is Original.  Do you see that?  Look at the letters.  It spells original.
William: No, you are wrong.  I sounded it out.  It is organ-al Hidden V@lley Ranch.  Just look at the letters Daddy.
Daddy: (big sigh)  Here you go.
