Repeat Pete – “Pete and Repeat were sitting on a fence…”
I’m sure you’ve heard that joke before – because with 4 kids, I think I’ve heard it at least 100 times in our house. For those that haven’t, let me enlighten you.
Child #1 “Pete and Repeat were sitting on a fence. Pete fell off. Who’s left?”
Child #2 “Repeat.”
Child #1 “Pete and Repeat were sitting on a fence. Pete fell off. Who’s left?”
Laughter ensues from both Child #1 and Child #2.

But not once did we ever think about racing the worms…until now.
