Great song, written by Dave Bartholomew and Pearl King back in the 1950's, most famously covered by Dave Edmunds.
TFYO has a new obsession, to go with all of her other obsessions.
Knock-Knock jokes.
I'm not sure where she heard her first one, but I have a suspicion it was my husband, as he is sometimes just a big kid himself. Truth be told, he has been TFYO's playmate since she was a baby. Not that I don't play with her, he just throws himself into it with gusto. He's taught her to throw a ball (we're still working on catching), he's taught her all about pratfalls (which she does on a regular basis and finds hilarious), and he's now apparently taught her knock-knock jokes. She knows only three.
Knock-knock.
Who's There?
Boo.
Boo-who?
Why are you crying? It's just a joke!
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Yaw.
Yaw who?
It's just a joke, why are you getting so excited?
And the perennial favourite:
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Banana.
Banana who?
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Banana.
Banana who?
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Banana!
(me): URGH! Banana WHO?
Knock-knock.
Who. Is. There.
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
So, I am now on a quest to find more knock-knock jokes to teach TFYO. I think it's great she's learning jokes, but if I wanted to hear the same jokes over and over again, I'd watch Leno. So, if any of you have any CLEAN (I'm looking at you Willow Tree!) knock-knock jokes, leave 'em in the comments. It may be the only way I ride out the knock-knock joke phase with any sanity left!
