To delay his bedtime as late as possible, my son got into lame-joke mode on Thursday night. We took turns making up jokes and laughing, cringing or "huh?"ing. Really, really lame ones went like this:
"What did the tree say to the apple?" "Get off of me!" (you can come up with millions more that end in the same phrase...)
And "What did the leaf say to the ground?" "I'm on to you!" (same as above, way too many jokes that end in the same phrase...)
Then there were the "why did the (insert animal here) cross the road?" etc, etc, etc.
The old ones were hauled out:
"Mary had a little lamb, the doctor was surprised
When Old McDonald had a farm, the vet he nearly died!"
We tried not to tell any dirty ones, but Claude the hypnotist got a mention, as did Captain Cook.
Unfortunately, my son now insists on a joke every night after his chapter of Narnia (we're on the third reading of the series!), before sleeping time. And I'm running out of lame jokes!
So I'm throwing open the floor - inspire me, please!!!
