Family Dynamics

Family moments:

My dad and my mom are in a heated discussion about where the jar of cashews have gone.
They don't know where it is, and my mom is yelling to my dad, who is in the kitchen, yelling to my mom.

I finally clue into their conversation and say that I saw the cashews in the fridge.

"OHHH RIGHT, I put them in there!" - Mother
"Tina, I think you're nuts!" - Father.

CUE LARISSA FROM THE TV ROOM DOWN THE HALL:
"AAAAHHH HAHAHA, that was a pun!"

Silence.

"We all heard what I said, I think we should laugh in acknowledgement."

Silence.

"It was funny!"
And my dad says, "No one got it, Larissa."

Well why not!

This was almost as bad as the time my dad and mom were bickering, and a smartie fell out of his pocket, and after questioning why there would be a smartie in his pocket at all, I yelled BECAUSE HE'S A SMARTIE PANTS.

Nooooo respect for good humour in this house.
