jokes

Juma has discovered jokes, though he's still trying to figure them out, and we have to explain almost every pun to him.

His current favorites:

Knock, knock.
-Who's there?
Boo.
-Boo who?
-You don't have to cry about it, it's just a joke!

Knock, knock.
-Who's there?
Apple.
Knock, knock.
-Who's there?
Apple.
Knock, knock.
-Who's there?
Apple.
Knock, knock.
-Who's there?
Orange.
-Orange who?
Orange-ya glad I didn't say apple?

Knock, knock.
-Who's there?
Interrupting cow.
-Interrupting co--
MOO!!

What do you call cheese that doesn't belong to you?
-What?
Nacho cheese!

The ones he makes up are, well, 4-year-old jokes.

What do you call a jagga with a boji?
-What?
A window!
[fake laughs from Sarah and Justin]

What does a zebra on the ground, with blood, do?
-[shocked at the mention of blood] Uh, what?
Stays there.
[real laughs from Sarah and Justin]
Why is it so funny?
-Because it made sense.

I still remember making up my first joke when I was 3 years old (?). My older siblings and I were hanging out in the Relief Society room while my mom was at a church function (homemaking meeting, I suppose). The others were telling jokes, so I wanted to join in.

Knock, knock.
-Who's there?
[looking wildly about the room for some inspiration] Piano!
-Piano who?
[again, looking around the room for something to say] Piano that goes through the wall sometimes!

I remember that as I said this, I imagined the piano floating through the air and going through the wall near the ceiling. My siblings dutifully laughed, bless their hearts.
