The KingofHearts has been desperately trying to teach The Dormouse the concept of a Knock Knock Joke for the past six months with no success. So when she showed such comedic timing and ability with the pickle and banana joke, he decided to give it another try. While the conversation was going on I got a pen and piece of paper from my purse and wrote down as much of what I could. There were actually a few more attempts that I didn't catch, but for the most part, this is a transcript of what was said directly after the joke from this morning's post:

Attempt 1

K: "OK, I have a joke for you. Knock, knock."

D: "Who's there?"

K: "Orange.... oh wait I screwed up that one."


Attempt 2

K: "Knock, knock."

D: "Who's there?"

K: "Banana."
D: "Banana who?"

K: "Knock, knock."

D: "Banana."
K: "No, you're supposed to say 'who's there?'"

D: "It's a banana."

Attempt 3

K: "Knock, knock."

D: "Who's there?"
K: "Banana."
D: "Shut the door."


Attempt 4

K: "Knock, knock."

D: "Who's there?"

K: "Banana."

D: "Banana horsey."

K: "No, you say who's there?"

D: "Banana pickle."

K: "No, say who's there?"

D: "Banana cow."


Attempt 5

K: "Knock, knock."

D: "No, you say who's there and I say knock, knock."

K: "OK, go ahead."
D: "Knock, knock."

K: "Who's there?"

D: "Knock, knock."

K: "Who's there?"

D: "Knock, knock."

K: "Who's there?"

D: "Knock, knock."

K: "Who's there?"

D: "Knock, knock."

K: "Who's there?"
D: "Knock, knock."
K: "This seems to be going nowhere."

Attempt 6
K: "Knock, knock."
D: "Who's there?"

K: "Banana."
D: "Banana who?"
K: "Knock, knock."
D: "Who's there?"
K: "Banana."
D: "Banana who?"

K: "Knock, knock."
D: "Who's there?"

K: "Orange."
D: "Orange who?"
K: "Orange you glad I didn't say 'banana'?"
D: "I like bananas."


Call me crazy, but I think she understands the joke perfectly and is just messing with him.
