When I was younger, I remember babysitting my younger cousin on Halloween. One of them was going to a birthday/Halloween party. When she showed me and her best friends costume, I didn't get it. "What are you?" I asked. "An Iona boy," she replied as I stood their blankly, not getting it as she tried to explain it to me. "Oh." I said, getting it. "It's a city kid joke." Iona being a private all boys school in the city, fine with the understanding i didn't see what was funny. "No B it's a FUNNY joke, not a city kid joke!"

And now, 12 years later, as I make jokes about my dad and people look at me with sadness, I find myself going "no it's not a sad joke, it's a funny joke"
