It was on that walk thet the two youngest Undertwos decided to tell a knock knock joke that they themselves created. Knock knock. Who's there? Cake. Cake who? Cake and ice cream on your head!!! There was a brief moment of silence among the adults present, and the two kids burst into hysterical laughter. And they told it again and again, and each time, they roared with laughter. Why? No one knows for sure. More curious is how eventually, adults were laughing along with them. Why? No one knows for sure. Over time, the joke was shared here at LP and at other meets the Threeundertwo's attended. It was altered a time or two, and the standard telling of it now is... Knock knock. Who's there? Cake. Cake who? Cake! There's ice cream on your head!!!!

I think by the time this remodel is done, I will have forgotten how to cook. And the original version of the joke was "Cake, there's ice cream on your head".
