It was...a joke???

Not literal. I mean... Is it really that weird to say?

[hearthebell]

Typically, a joke is comprised of three parts. There's a setup, a detail, and a punch-line. This sort of situational humor can feasibly follow the same general guidelines, but for the setup to work, there should be the premise that the books' whereabouts are uncertain.

"The dog ate my homework" is an operational example of situational humor, because it all hinges on the fact that the homework is absent for another reason. If the books existed, clearly and without question, your family either didn't understand the structure of a joke, or they had poor eyesight.

I think you're thinking too hard about this. My Aunt just likes to make very bad jokes. It's okay, though, because her hot dishes are very good!

Innovations exist in any world because someone thought too hard about them. Hot dishes and jokes probably don't stand to revolutionize any industry, so your aunt is blessed in a sense, perhaps.
