I didn\u2019t think the jokes were funny but his behavior\nwhile telling the jokes made me laugh. I teasingly said to him, \u201cI\u2019m going to write a book about\nyou and these corny jokes.\u201d He thought it was a great idea. One day I watched him and our\nchildren going back-and-forth repeating these ridiculous jokes and suddenly I was inspired to\nget a pen and pad and started writing.
