Friends:Wouldn’t it be nice it our children got married in the future?Husband:No way.My daughter is only one,and your son is two;when she’s ten,your son would be 20.That’s disgusting.Wife:No,sweetie,your math is wrong.Our daughter will be two years old next year,and they will be the same age by then.This joke is adapted from Xiaolin Guangji(《笑林广记》,Extensive Gleaning from the Forests of Laughter),a joke book published in 1781 that epitomized Chinese humor.
