So I guess taking care of a baby is 'raising the roof'.

I always thought she said "You're what? Pregnant."

This weekend I was at the 'rents and my brothers and one wife and kids were there. I turned around 3 times and said "What am I?"

I was helping my parents and a bricklayer friend do some repairs on their brick house.
My Mom was showing me a technique to repair small cracks in the mortar using long, thin trowels of different widths and shapes.
(point&tuck/tuck&point?)
Anyway, I was having trouble getting the mortar to stick, and as my Mom watched, she said "Let me try."
She took my trowel but had no better luck than I did.
As she looked at the trowel, she said "Well, Edwin, your tool is just to big for the crack."
It was one of those moments when she realized what she was saying but it was to late to stop, and I couldn't let it pass.
"Well, Mom!" I said, "I've heard that before but never thought I'd hear it from you!"
We both started laughing so hard My Dad and friend came to see what was up, so we had to tell them also!

You're just nitpicking.

Dana's post was bugging me until I got the louse pun. I thought I had spied her being a pest and fleeing the scene.
