Honestly, Elly, if you are going to feed the boys straight lines like that, you can’t expect them not to respond with the appropriate punchline. This is especially true for young Michael. As a Patterson, it is practically in his blood to respond to all straight lines with punchlines.
Every mom has heard this line…and every mom responds the same way. I got a lot of satisfaction out of drawing the expression on Elly’s face here, knowing it would be felt by so many!
I understand the look on Elly’s face, but my grandson did something similar to me when he and his mother were living with us and his mother and I just burst out laughing.

I remember one sleepover I attended. The mother said this, and all 12 of us responded!

If you say that to a bunch of kids; it is a 100% guarantee that will happen.

The first cave boy sleepover probably originated this.
