3．The longest day of the month is the day after my younger brother T．J gets his new issue of Just Joking，a magazine filled with all kinds of jokes．When the new issue arrives，T．J tells me every riddle in it．But a constant stream of riddles can get annoying．
"Hey，Keith！What did he hamburger name his daughter？"
"T．J!"I shout．"Enough riddles!"
He is suddenly quiet．
"Keith，be nice，"Mom says．"T．J，honey，what did the hamburger name his daughter？"
"Patty，"he says．
During dinner，T．J doesn't say anything．Usually he brings Just Joking to the table with him and tells us some riddles in between bites of food．This evening，he does not．I'm relieved．At last---some peace and quiet．
After dinner，I go to my friend Brad's house to work on a project for science class．We're painting the planets when Brad's little sister，Nita，comes into the room．
"Brad，can I help you with the project？"Nita asks．
"Nita!"He shouts at her．"Leave us alone!"
Nita walks out of the room looking sad．I feel bad for her．I can tell that she just wants to be around her big brother．The look on Nita's face reminds me of the look on T．J's face earlier in the evening．Now I don't feel so good about T．J's silence at the dinner table．
When Brad and I finish working on the project，I see Nita in the front of the room．She still looks sad．
"Hey，Nita!Do you know what the hamburger named his daughter？"I ask．
"I don't know．What？"Nita says．
"Patty!"
Nita laughs and I laugh too．"I heard that from my brother，T．J，"I say．"He's very funny．
When I get home，T．J still looks unhappy．
"T．J，guess what？"I say．"I used one of your riddles tonight．Brad's little sister thought it was really funny．So let's find more riddles for the next time I go over there．And maybe you can come along with me sometime．"
"Really？"T．J's eyes light up．"OK!"T．J runs upstairs，and then comes back，smiling and carrying Just Joking．
