Can you identify the theme in our dialogue today?

9:30 a.m. as Matilda is looking at old photo albums

Matilda: There's Uncle Brian telling the smoked salmon joke. And there he is again telling the smoked salmon joke.

Me: Is that really what he's doing in all those old pictures?

Matilda: Oh yes, that Uncle Brian sure loves the smoked salmon joke. Mmmmmmhhhmmmm.

11:00 a.m. as Porter is crying from the other room

Me: Matilda, what happened to Porter?

Matilda: He got all smoked salmoned!

Me: What??

Matilda: Mmmmmmmmhhhmmmm.

8:30 p.m. as M & I walk into Vons

Me: Matilda is there anything you can think of that we need to get?

Matilda: Smoked salmon, Mmmmhhhmmmm.

Uncle Brian, I hope you are laughing at your desk now. I am may be just about out of love for the smoked salmon joke.
