Jokes

Gillian likes to quote lines from movies. Well normally just one line. Some of her favorites are "Honey? Where are my pants?" from the Lego Movie, "I am Groot!" from Guardians of the Galaxy, and "I'm a suitcase." from Scooby Doo. She repeats them constantly. So tonight in the car she muttered "Honey, where are my pants?" I didn't hear her or laugh at her and she whispered "No one thinks my jokes are funny." I suggested that John teach her some knock knock jokes. This would be a great idea, but John doesn't know any knock knock jokes. The two of them just made up jokes. And they laughed and laughed. 

When we got home, they decided to lay on the floor in the kitchen and sun bathe. I love that they take a simple idea and make it amazing. From silly jokes to sunbathing tonight was wonderful.

Every afternoon, John gets an ice pop at camp. Last week he said to me "I got my stick. And I even asked one of my friends for his stick." I said "Really? What are you going to do with your Popsicle sticks?" He smiled and said "I'm going to tell people the jokes!" Now I laughed and asked him "Can you tell me the jokes?" He pulled the Popsicle sticks out his bag and said "What stays in a corner and goes around the world?" I said "I don't know!" He giggled and said "A stamp!" Then he read the next one "What runs but has no feet?" I again said "I don't know!" He said "A river!" 

Today I asked him if he had an ice pop in the afternoon. He said "Yes, wanna hear the joke?" I said "Yes!" John asked "Why did the coffee taste like mud?" Daddy and I both said "I don't know!" John giggled and said "Because it was fresh ground!" We laughed. I think it was his best joke yet!

Have you ever seen that AT&T commercial with the kid that tells a joke and the other kid corrects him?  Well here's the commercial in case you don't know what I'm talking about.

This morning, John pulled off the next number on our Disney countdown.  Today's star had a joke on the back of it.  Daddy read it to John, "When does Mickey Mouse put up his new calendar?"  John said "I don't know."  I said "On New Ears eve!"  John said "You mean Year's!"  Daddy said "No, ears, because that's what makes it funny!"  John didn't get it.
