A Blackout

We had a blackout last night, and the house was left in total darkness. We didn't know what to do, but Dad suggested we light a candle and sit around the table. He wanted us sll to tell stories or jokes. There was a brief moment of silence, but soon my older brother started to tell a joke. The joke was so funny that we couldn't help bursting out laughing. He went on to tell us many more jokes until the lights came back on. We all went to bed smiling.
