Throwback Thursday: Funny uncle has a way with words

From 2007:

My sister's seven-year-old daughter fell yesterday on the way home from school--she "tripped" on her backpack, which she was using as a jump rope, and split her chin wide open on the asphalt.

My Dad, a retired physician, patched her up, but it was my brother who made her laugh. "It's not your fault," he told her. "And it's not your mom's fault. It's the asphalt."
