Caroline telling me a joke yesterday.
“Why did the potato go to the doctor?”
“I don’t know. Why?”
“Because he couldn’t see.”
I think she left out some reference to the fact that potatoes have eyes.
But honestly I’m just glad she’s finally telling jokes where the punchline doesn’t always include the word “poop”.

Well, Caroline tells jokes about like I do. I always forget something important or I give too many details and give away the punchline before it’s due. However, I can say that most of my punchlines don’t include “poop”.

Yeah, it was probably supposed to be, “Because he had poop in his eyes and he couldn’t see.”

My five year old daughter’s favorite joke is from Spongebob.
What do you call a snail on a ship?
A snailor.

My 4 and 5 year old girls think every joke must be told as a knock-knock joke. Such as:
“Knock, Knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Why did the chicken cross the road?”
Love the way their little minds work!

Amen to that…
I am so not a bathroom humor girl, but those early years of childhood? It’s all about the poop.

Jill says:
Because of all the poop jokes, I went to the library and checked out a joke book and had my kids memorize a few “good” jokes. Finally at ages 7 and 6 they are getting over the bathroom jokes, if only I could get my dear husband past the bathroom humor!

As long as she’s not turning into some form of the Joker, I think it’s all good.

Caroline is the STAR of your blog. I just LOVE her stories.
Too bad you didn’t show us a picture of yesterday’s lovely outfit. I was DYING to see it.

Hee hee! I like Caroline’s joke.
I was just talking with my neighbor yesterday about our first child telling the worst, not-funny jokes and how Chris would say, “He must have gotten that from YOUR side of the family.”
Our Noah is coming along in the joke telling…now it is Kylie’s turn for the jokes that are so funny, because they aren’t funny.

That’s great! Would you believe I still remember telling pointless jokes that had no punch line when I was little - and laughing hysterically at myself! Ha!

My daughter’s punch lines NEVER make any sense. It takes a lot of effort to keep laughing at things that aren’t funny, but I do it.

Missy @ It's Almost Naptime says:
Shep doesn’t even tell jokes. He just says POOP giggle giggle giggle
or,
Twinkle, twinkle little POOP
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Oh, it’s so adorable.
Sometimes he’ll say something like “Jesus loves POOP this I know” and I wonder if we are all in great spiritual trouble. I think “Jesus loves the little POOPOO CHILDREN AHAHAHAHA” is quite possibly what Jesus meant by blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

Oh yes, nothing like the comedy routine of a 5 year old!
Around here, it’s ‘doo doo head’, maybe because it sounds so much like poop poop head? I’m a thinkin!

Oh, I love mixed up kid jokes. They make me laugh harder than the ones where the punch line is spot on.
In case you’d like Caroline to add to her repertoire, my Gracie has a couple of favorites:
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Cows say.
Cows say who?
Cow’s don’t say who, cows say moo!
How do you make a strawberry shake?
Take it to a scary movie.

You know you read too many blogs when you see a shamwow! commercial and tell your husband, “oh, that’s what caroline wants”. And, he knew exactly what I was talking about!
I laughed to myself that I had said that out loud and thought I’d share.
