A big raccoon was hit by a car just outside of our neighborhood. It’s laying lifeless in the street.
Laura: Look at the size of that raccoon! It looks more like a dog.
Me: Do you know what a male raccoon is called?
Laura: Nope.
Me: It’s the same name as a male bear.
Laura: I don’t know.
Me: It’s what nature does to a vacuum.
Laura: What are you talking about? Just tell me.
Me: A boar, Laura. It’s a boar. As in ‘nature abhors a vacuum.’
Laura: You should have just given me the hint, “What Aaron is to Laura when he asks these silly riddles.”
Me: I don’t get it.
Laura: A bore.
Me: Very funny.
Laura: That was a pretty good one, wasn’t i!
