Open Mic Night

My 3 year old daughter loves to tell jokes. Her favorite one goes like this:

Her: Knock knock.

Me: Who’s there?

Her: Chicken burger.

Me: Chicken burger who?

Her: Chicken burger in your eye (que hysterical laughter)

Tonight she got on her kick of just doing the same bit over and over. Finally she says “your turn!”

Me: Knock knock.

Her: Who’s there?

Me: Chicken burger.

Her: Chicken burger who?

Me: Chicken burger in your ear.

She scowles at me for what seems like an eternity then says “That is not even funny.” So much for my career as a comedian at kid parties.

Quick Story #1

Kids never want to go to bed, they may miss all the fun after all. It is even worse during the summer months when the sun is up late. You use every argument in your arsenal to defeat their logic including “see the moon is up.”

Taking my two youngest into school on monday, the five year old yells out “oh no we have to go to bed!” I calmly asked why and he pointed to the moon in the morning sky and said “because the moon is out” and he began to giggle. Well played little one, well played.
