Yes, some of my kindergarten students have now graduated to the ever important rite of passage; the telling of knock knock jokes. Maybe you know a five-year-old who is quite the master of comedy. Me...eh, not so much. Let me start by saying that I absolutely adore these kids. They are my positive rays of light as I maneuver through an increasingly terrible time. I love that they attempt to be funny and even more so that they are highly entertained by their own jokes. But honestly...have you heard the average four or five-year-old tell a joke of any kind? It can be a bit painful, especially when they mess up and have to start over about seventeen times. Let me give you an example of a typical knock knock joke:
kiddo: "Knock, knock!"
me: "Who's there?"
kiddo: banana"
me: "banana who?"
kiddo: "chicken strawberry soup!"
This punchline usually evokes riotous laughter from the joke master and some of his classmates while I'm smiling, nodding and trying to look amused because I don't get the funny part. So, I am requesting...no, I'm begging you.. if you read this entry, please leave me a knock knock joke of your own that I can share with the children.
