Surreal joke of the day
Claire recently took her first foray into humor when she was introduced to knock-knock jokes by a church friend. This variety of joke relies largely on bad puns that don't necessarily make much sense to a 3.5 year old. (As in, "Little Old Lady who?" "I didn't know you could yodel.")
She begs for long sessions of trading "jokes," which requires us to get creative on the spot. The most likely thing to garner a tremendous laugh from her is a silly rhyme. Of course, she now tries to create her own jokes that are hilarious largely because they're so bizarre.
Claire's surreal joke of the day:
C: Knock, knock.
M: Who's there?
C: Butter.
M: Butter who?
C: Arm butter water fish.

Laurel,
When my little brother was about 3 or so, he used to roar with laughter at his own invented knock-knock joke:
Knock-knock?
Who's there?
Coke.
Coke who?
Hot coke!
No one knew what it meant, but it was funny anyway. :)
Do you have your feed turned off? Your posts don't show up in my feedreader.
guess I'm too low tech for that, Rick. Joel says he can add a feed at some point. Stay tuned. :-)
The "Knock-Knock Joke Phase" is definitely a developmental stage in childhood. With our 3 older ones so close in age, we had many evenings around the dinner table hearing one bizarre knock-knock joke after another. Enjoy it.
I was told that Jesus liked
this one:
Knock Knock
Who's there?
Israel.
Israel who?
Is real nice to see you.
