“Oh, sweetheart, I’m absolutely thrilled!” he exclaimed, his voice filled with happiness. “Who was it that took you to the hospital?”

His wife replied, “Your brother, Joe, kindly drove me. And since I had to be given anesthesia during the delivery, he was the one who had the honor of naming our new babies.”
A wave of concern washed over the husband. “But… but Joe isn’t exactly known for his… well, his brilliant ideas!” he stammered, a bit worried. “Oh no! What on earth did he name them?”
His wife chuckled softly before answering, “Well, we have a beautiful baby girl and a handsome baby boy. Joe decided to name the girl Deniece.”
“Deniece?” the husband repeated, pausing for a moment. “Hmm, well, you know, that’s actually not so bad. It’s a nice name. So, what did he name the boy?” he asked, bracing himself slightly.
With a slight pause for dramatic effect, the wife replied, “Joe named the boy De-nephew.”
