Video(s): Knock-Knock…
Clint and I made an incredibly stupid parenting decision about a month ago.
We told the kids their first knock-knock joke.
At first, it was entertaining. They would laugh and laugh over the jokes we’ve all heard a million times. The best part was that our kids were convinced that Mom and Dad are surely the most clever, funny people to ever walk the earth. That’s the great thing about being the first to expose them to such comedic mastery as:
Knock Knock.
Who’s there?
I.C.
I.C. who?
I see you!
The problem, you see, is that they decided they, too, could become comedic geniuses. Ever since, we have been inundated with knock-knock jokes that make absolutely no sense.
The only thing that makes them funny, is the fact that they are so random.
See for yourself:
I made the horrible mistake of teaching Lily the, “Knock knock, who’s there, banana, banana who? 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?” version.
Guess what she keeps repeating?
Yeeeah.
Parenting 101: Do not ever, under any circumstances, teach your children knock-knock jokes.
