Colleen: Knock. Knock.
Me: Who's there?
Colleen: Banana.
Me: Banana who?
Colleen: Orange.
This is a blissfully shortened version of the "Orange you glad I didn't say banana?" joke that is a plague to so many adults. Elizabeth is trying to teach her the real version on the sly and as I type Robert is sitting next to me demonstrating the full impact of the joke. Groan.

For all of you old-timers, do you remember Elizabeth's favorite joke?
"A mommy. A daddy. A baby. (dramatic pause) And a monkey! (fall to ground in a fit of giggles)"
We think this was Lion King related (the presentation of Simba). She still thinks it's funny.
I remember that one! She had impeccable comic timing.
I think it's hilarious when the little one attempt comedy. It's funny in its own separate way from the joke itself.
Emma tells jokes that consist of various nonsensical bits of separate jokes. It KILLS ME to hear it. I'll laugh until my sides hurt.
