We went to church tonight. On the way home, Nolan asked the boys a question.

***

Nolan. What did you learn at church tonight?

Ethan. The ten commandments.

Nolan. Oh, yeah? Which one was your favorite?

Ethan. (no pause) 'Thou shalt not lie.'

(Nolan and I look at each other and then back at Ethan.)

Ethan. OH! I meant 'Honor your father and mother!'

Carrie. And that's what we call irony.

Nolan. (under his breath) We asked his favorite, not which one he breaks the most.
