Joey is the youngest of three kids and grew up in a family of five. As a result, he was often the victim of many practical jokes and pranks, as well as the butt of many jokes. This is still true today as the siblings continue to laugh about old jokes and pranks and add new ones as well.
-
Joey was visiting Provo in between semesters at BYU Idaho and was laughing with me about our childhood memories. I asked him to type up his story of one of our inside jokes and send it to me so I could include it with our other items.
-
In his story, Joey talks about his name. He was named after my dad's youngest brother, but our dad has another brother named Danny. This is where the name Danny came from and why it was viewed as more convincing. If he was named Danny, it would mean that he was named after another one of our dad's\rbrothers.

How collected: Joey texted me this story to share some of our old jokes. \rText: So my older sister tormented me with her manipulations when I was a child. One of her favorite fallacies she used to get at me was that my name was actually Danny and that I had forgotten it after a horrible accident and hence forth called myself Joey. \rShe used this against me constantly and it seemed that every conversation we had would end in this way. Eventually she let up on the joke, but still to this day sometimes she will bring it back and continue to call me Danny. I still don't think it's that funny.
