Nonsense jokes...

G2 has reached the age of nonsense jokes.  You know the kind that don't make any sense but makes the teller chortle gleefully.  Yeah...those.

G2:  Knock, knock.
Mom:  Who's there?
G2:  Banana.
Mom:  Banana who?
G2:  That banana just got squished!!!!
(maniacal laughter)


G2:  Knock, knock.
Mom:  Who's there?
G2:  Banana (they always start with banana?).
Mom:  Banana who?
G2:  Now there's TWO bananas!
(more laughter)

He can tell real jokes, but his repertoire is limited--and, somehow, they just aren't as funny in the eyes of this particular 6 year old.

Moo--who adores her older brother--has gone from favored straight man to copycat extraordinaire.  Well...at least she gets the structure correct.

Moo:  Knock, knock.
Mom:  Who's there?
Moo:  Apple!
Mom:  Apple who?
Moo:  Apple on your HEAD!
(giggle, giggle)

It's going to be a looooonnng week.

Maybe if you can convince them to tell the jokes to each OTHER instead of to you......

Those jokes do sound cute, at first. But you're right: it's REALLY hard to keep pretending that they're funny after more than three of them. Cute little Moo, with her apple joke. so cute.
