Amy's self-referential knock knock joke

Amy's favorite jokes are the "interrupting cow" knock knock jokes. The original joke goes like this:

Amy: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?
Amy: Interrupting Cow.
Me: Interrup-
Amy: Moo!

And a typical Amy variation:

Amy: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?
Amy: Interrupting Car.
Me: Interrup-
Amy: Beep! Beep!

And now the self-referential masterpiece:

Amy: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?
Amy: Interrupting Daddy listening to this joke.
Me: Interrup-
Amy: Interrupting Daddy listening to this joke who!

Rock and Roll All Night

The first time I heard about Rock Band, I thought it was just about the worst idea ever. Apparently my fun-prediction circuits are wired backwards.

The Band:
Michael - Guitar (open 24 hrs)
Liz - Drums
Amy - Vocals (I only want to sing girl songs Daddy)
Jonathan - Drums/unplugging cables/random button presses

Rock that rec room!

Oh, well in that case

Amy: Would you like some ice cream?
Me: Sure, I like ice cream.
Amy rummages around in a toy bin and comes up with a plastic trash can.
Amy: We only have trash ice cream.
Me: Yuck! No thanks. I don't want any trash ice cream.
Amy: But it tastes like fish!
