Frankie thought his new joke was a hoot: "Why did the pigeon cross the road? To join the chicken on the other side!" Julian wasn't amused. (140 characters)
My youngest son, who is four, has been learning to tell jokes from his older brothers. So far, this is his mainstay: "Why did the (insert bird, animal, one-legged cyclops here) cross the road?" And the answer is always the same as old Frankie's above.
Hope you all had a good Christmas. I'm off to eat some cucumber sandwiches. As usual, I greatly appreciate your comments and will try to get back to you as soon as possible (on my new laptop, but who's bragging?!)
Come on Julian, laugh it up. These jokes are all time winners.
ReplyDeleteI remember when my kids started to tell jokes.
It's so funny when they are trying to be so serious in their delievery!
Have a wonderful upcoming New year.
You're making me hungry, love cucumber sandwiches!
I love it when kids get to the stage of joke-telling! I recall a Scholastic book my oldest son wanted me to order for him when he was 7--"My Favorite Book of Jokes." He regaled his brothers with those jokes. All three boys ended up with great senses of humor. Thanks for jogging my memory to the years of kids' jokes!
ReplyDeleteA new laptop eh? You must have been a very, very good boy this year.
ReplyDeleteNice Microfiction Michael. Happy Christmas.

That one bird does look a little offended. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I think he's learned the concept of the "running gag."
ReplyDeleteLOL! Come on Julian, I thought it was funny :O)
ReplyDeleteA pigeon AND chicken joke !? Wow now that's original- thanks!
ReplyDeleteJulian needs to get on with life and not be to serious. This was wonderful Michael. Wishing you and your Family a wonderful 2011
ReplyDeleteStealing from the kids for yours? I love it! Keep 'em coming. I just imagine the little one all squirmy with delight at his great jokes.
ReplyDeleteI love little stand up comedians :)
ReplyDeleteand I love chicken jokes, still, even at my advanced age :)
that foot of snow I mentioned is now up to 20 inches, some parts near me got over 2 feet!!
our street still hasn't been plowed
what a cutie, I'm sure he's having fun telling this joke...again and again. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteHopefully he will learn a few more in the upcoming year... Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI bet Julian wasn't amused. I understand one of his brothers was killed crossing that road ... ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat story. I wish Santa loved me enough to bring me a new laptop. All I got was a diamond necklace and tickets to Hawaii. (Of course, I'm not bragging, either ...)
Ha - those silly cross the road jokes keep coming back with new twist
ReplyDeleteha ha you've met my husband I see
