Two weeks ago, my boyfriend and I were eating dinner with friends when their 7-year-old son asked each of us to share a joke. His mom chimed in with an oldie - "What's black and white and (read) all over?" The punchline died though when she paused to ask him if he knew what a newspaper was. He didn't.
