Which sentence from “Fish Cheeks” is meant to entertain readers?

For Christmas I prayed for this blond-haired boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose.
She was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns.
Robert and their family waited patiently for platters to be passed to them.
My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish.

I would agree I think if your trying to entertain someone one the 1st sentence would be correct

"For Christmas I prayed for this blond-haired boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose."

I would choose this line simply because I find it slightly humorous with a bit of truthfulness.
