Knock Knock Jokes

Ok, so we have a bed time ritual with the kids. We have family prayer, then hugs and kisses, then the kids get into bed. Then Steve and I each take a turn sitting on each child's bed and they get to talk to us for a few minutes. Well, at least that's how it started. What it quickly turned into is that Steve asks them what their favorite part of the day is, and I get told two knock knock jokes by each child. And they usually involve chicken, faces, fruit snacks, oranges in orange trees and apples in apple trees and monkeys. It's been going on for months now. So now I'm going to post some of the kids knock knock jokes. And Rowen usually tells her jokes in some sort of weird voice. Lately it's in a voice that's deep like a robot, in a kind of whisper and she separates each syllable. It's quite the voice for a little girl to be using.

My favorite joke so far has been one that I heard for nearly a month straight, twice every night (yes, Rowen would just repeat the same joke twice).

Knock Knock -- Who's there? -- Why did the chicken cross the road? -- I don't know. -- Because he was hungry about oranges in the orange tree and apples in the apple tree, that's why he crossed the road to get to the other side.

And when she talked about the oranges and apples, she motioned to the left for the oranges and to the right for the apples. And it never varied. But she said it in a cute little girl voice and she said it verbatim every time. It was really cute. That was pretty much the joke for the entire month of October. I'm sure it's something only a mother could love, but I really did.
