The Dormouse is just getting to where she understands humor well enough to make up a joke and have it be funny to others who get the nuances and subtleties of humor that appeals to adults. Hence, there have been few entries in the "Kid Jokes" section of this website recently. But I am pleased to announce that the era of kid jokes entries may be back.

Last night as we were driving in the car, The Dormouse told a knock knock joke that actually made us laugh and we praised her on her foray into the world of stand up comedy.

Like dominoes fall with each successive tumble, this of course made The KingofHearts tell the only knock knock joke he ever remembers and, not very coincidentally, the one I possibly find the least funny and most annoying.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana.

Banana who?

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana.

Banana who?

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana.

Banana who?

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Orange.

*heavy sigh* Orange who?

Orange you glad I didn't say 'banana' again?


Oh that's just the least of things I'm glad of.

Anyway, The Caterpillar decided she wanted to get in on the action and when his twenty-minute knock, knock joke was through, she decided to tell her own version:

Caterpillar: "Knock, knock."

Us: "Who's there?"

"Banana."

"Banana who?"

*pause* "Corn.... bye bye!"

It's at least as funny as the banana/orange joke.
