Knock-Knock Jokes

I’m sure that knock-knock jokes are a developmental stage in children. I’d like to hear from my social-worker sister about this one! My boys, ages almost 7 and almost 4.5 have not yet “gotten” knock-knock jokes. Once in awhile they like to tell them, but of course, they never make sense. The boys think it’s hilarious fun. Today they started in on the jokes again (after quite a long respite) so I tried to explain to Caleb what makes a knock-knock joke. He’s starting to get it and his jokes are getting closer the the real ones. He thinks he gets it, of course. So, at what age do knock-knock jokes start to really make sense to a kid? I’m afraid I don’t want to arrive at that stage because I find them pretty annoying in large doses. I don’t want an Aunties giving my kids a book of knock-knock jokes for Christmas!! :-)

I hear them at my house, too. Thankfully they come and GO for awhile and I haven't heard any for awhile now. Does this mean that after my kids are with yours this week I'll be hearing them again? =)

That IS a great Knock knock joke Sabrina!:) I wish I could think of one to "blog" to you all, but I can never remember jokes !!
I don't know if you are allowed to change the subject on blogs?? I do remember a couple book titles and authors jokes, but Ken just told me a better one; ""Rusty Zipper", by I.P. Nightly.
Another one, "Will He make it to the Outhouse", by Betty Wont

Holy Buckets! I hadn't checked here for a few days - busy and all. And here I have comments from Twila, Sondra, Sabrina... My goodness. Thanks for the good jokes. I can never remember them either. Now I have to decide if I really want to tell them to my kids. They've stopped talking about them, and I'm not sure I want to remind them. :-)
