Kid jokes........

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Beyond the Sidewalks : One Thread

My son is developing a sense of humor and loves to tell jokes (his pronunciation is chokes.."i telled a choke!" He's almost 5) but the knock knock joke I taught him is getting preeeeeettty unfunny to us now after the thousandth telling . Its this one: Knock Knock, Who's There?, Boo, Boo who?, Don't cry!! So I attempted some new ones. Here's one for your youngster. Knock Knock, who's there?, Atch, Atch who?, Bless you, do you have a cold? Knock knock, who's there?, Cocka, Cocka who?, Cocka whoodle doo! Which led to this riddle: What do you get when you cross a rooster and an owl? A bird that says Cockawhoodle-whooo! Like I said, he's almost 5 and thinks these are the height of funny. HELP!!!!!!!!

Could be worse, Ali - they could be chicken jokes!! Or, my personal favorite as a kid - elephant jokes..

How can you tell if there's an elephant in your cupboard? You can smell the peanuts on his breath.

How can you tell if there's an elephant in your refridgerator? You can see his footprints in the cheesecake.

How do you hide an elephant in a gum ball machine? You paint his toenails all different colors.

How do you get down off of an elephant? You don't; you get down off of a duck.

Wait until someone teaches him those repetetive songs -- The ants go marching one by one, ten green speckled frogs, songs like those. You WISH for the days of knock-knock jokes! :-D

Oh yes, the knock-knock stage........grandson is six and has really gotten into riddles and is trying to think of his own. Enjoy.......such a wonderful age!!!! Brings to mind all the old ones that I thought were so clever when I was a child. My favorite that I just had to tell everyone was........why did the grasshopper jump higher than the Empire State Building?? cause the Empire state Building couldn't jump.

Di we used to tell that one to unsuspecting people.."Bet I can jump higher than that house!" Someone would always be gullible enough to take the bet and the better would give this big build up to a huge jump and then end up doing a piddly little hop. The bettee would be ecstatic at the betters sad jump and think he or she won until informed that they lost because houses can't jump. I think I made a nickel once with that one! LOL

Sort of like "Bet you I can tell you the score of Saturday's basketball game between IU and Oaklahoma before it starts"

Answer: zero to zero, that's the score of every game BEFORE IT STARTS
