It’s a Hard Knock Knock Life
Posted on July 24th, 2009 – 9:54 AMBy Kay Krhin
We need some new material in our house because Ben’s jokes are getting real old. What better day than today? I just learned from Bill Ward’s article here. that today is National “Tell an Old Joke Day.” I know I’ve mentioned the Knock Knocks Ben shares. They are getting more nonsensical (and hysterical to him) by the day.
Ben: Knock Knock
Me: Who’s there?
Ben: Pickle
Me: Pickle who?
Ben: Pickle nose! (then he rolls on the ground as if it were the most hilarious thing ever uttered.)
Ben: Knock Knock
Me: Who’s there?
Ben: Eye
Me: Eye who?
Ben: Eyeball! (more fits of laughter)
Such is 3 year-old humor.
I remember a few favorite jokes of mine as a young kid dealt with time.
How are a pigs tail and 5 a.m. the same?
They are both twirly.
And the old joke -
What’s the best time to go to the dentist?
2:30
Hey it’s Friday let’s have some fun! Share your favorite kid jokes, nonsensical knock knocks, or heck, your best (ahem, clean) jokes in comments below.

I heard a great one this week:
What do you get when you cross a rhinoceros with an elephant?
Eleph-ino! (Say it aloud if you don’t get it when you read it…)
What did the mayo say to the refrigerator door?
‘Shut the door! I’m dressing!!!’
bwahahahaha
What did the fish say when it swam into a wall?
Dam.
(I know, corny, but my favorite joke of all time).
My favorite joke of all time came from Highlights magazine:
Little Brother: “How can I grow as tall as you?”
Big Brother: “I already told you. You’ll grow faster if you rub grease on top of your head.”
Little Brother: “I did that, but it didn’t work.”
Big Brother: “What kind of grease did you use?”
Little Brother: “Crisco.”
Big Brother: “Well, no wonder! That’s SHORTENING!”
My 4-year-old’s current favorite knock-knock is:
Knock Knock
(Who’s there)
Howard
(Howard who)
Howard you like me to fix your doorbell for you?
Also:
Why do dogs wag their tails?
- Because no one else will do it for them!
Ahh yes… toddler humor is interesting. Jokes get made up daily at our home and I think I’m deserving of the Oscar for my laughter when I have no idea how or where they come up with this stuff and it is similar to the Pickle Nose laughter Kay gets.
But our favorite joke to tell at our house:
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Banana.
Banana who?
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Banana.
Banana who?
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn’t say banana again?
My 2-1/2 yr old hasn’t quite got the point of the punch line…his version of the banana joke is:
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Banana.
That’s it! Then he gets confused if you ask Banana Who? 
But of course, the funniest thing in the whole world is to add “poop” to anything. *sigh*
My favorite joke to tell when I was little:
Why did the bear go over the mountain?
Because he couldn’t go under it!
