Today, the kids have been on a joke-telling kick. We'll call this first one "Delivery is everything."
Anna: Knock-knock
Rob: Who's there?
Anna: Interrupting pig.
Rob: Interrupting pig who?
Anna: (long pause) Oink!
(If you don't get it, then you've probably never heard the whole line of interrupting knock-knocks. The point is to deliver the last line while the other person is still saying interrupting whatever. And now that I explained it, it's not funny anymore, is it?)
This one is the combination of two classics.
Ben: Knock-knock
Me: Who's there?
Ben: Dwayne
Me: Dwayne who?
Ben: Why are you crying??
(And again, to ruin the joke, the answer should have been, "Dwayne the bathtub, I'm dwouning!" The answer given is to "Boo" being who is there.)
Ben did get me good with that one, though. His innocent, four-year-old way of delivering what he thought was a hilarious joke was pricless!!
