It’s Monday, which means it’s time for your weekly dose of locavore levity: the Joke of the Week! This week’s joke comes from Burlington’s Tarzan Jenkins. Take it away, Tarzan …

My eight-year-old son says to me, “Dad, I’ve been thinking … not all children should have birthdays.”

And I’m like, “What?!”

He says,” I don’t think all kids should have birthdays. Some kids should have C-section days.”

And I’m like,”What?!!!”

He says,”It’s still a celebration, just the cake comes pre-cut down the middle.”

I said,”Cut it out, boy!”

He said,”Exactly dad, exactly.”

About that joke

Says Jenkins: “The wisdom of children is precious. The logic of children is hilarious!”
