Anna has taken to telling jokes lately, but I was getting a little tired of the punch line being “bootie butt” or “poopy!” I figured she was a little too young for “Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?¹” or “What’s brown and sticky?²” which are my favorite kids’ jokes. She has learned the knock-knock joke sequence, so I googled a couple jokes and told them to her, which she asked me to repeat approximately 784 times. At this point she has learned them pretty well, and I’m sure will be repeating them at school.

¹ It was dead.

² A stick.
