A Joke

This morning, Naomi was sitting eating at her table with Mark, who was reading a magazine. She told Mark that the coffee table was the reading table, and that her table was the eating table. So he moved, and I sat and ate with her.

When Mark got his food, he sat on the couch again to eat. Naomi asked him to come sit at the eating table, that that was the reading table. Mark said, "But, I'm reading my cereal" and looked intently back and forth at his bowl, "see? I like the word raisin" and pointed at a raisin. Naomi was laughing at him.

When he came and sat down with us, Naomi copied him, looking intently at her toast as if she was reading it. "See," she said pointing, "I like the word sandwhich!"
