we got jokes

Wednesday night is trivia night for one of my oldest friend groups and since the Stay at Home order, we've moved online.
A different person acts as host each week and comes up with questions and even a picture round, and we sit around drinking a cocktail or hot tea and answer questions and shoot the shit.
Sometimes between questions it's show and tell (cats, dogs, stuffed animals). Sometimes our friends' new baby joins in before his bedtime or to show off a cute new bib. On occasion the old folks can't get their video camera to work or accidentally hang up and we razz them.
This week our trivia host from IRL trivia joined in and his kid hung out in the background, eavesdropping, coming close once to show us his pet lizard.
At the end of the last round, someone yelled "Ya got a joke for us, kid?" and the kid ran away and then came back and told us a joke.
Then I thought of a joke. And another person did.
It warmed my cynical old heart that we sat around cackling and telling each other and this random little kid dumb jokes. Then our elder stateswoman told a dirty joke* and we fell off our chairs laughing and that was it for the night.

Q: what's the difference between a staple and a screw?
A:I never got stapled before.
