Knock-Knock Jokes

Lately our girls have been into telling knock-knock jokes. Ava does okay with mixing them up and being a little more creative. Elise, with her limited vocabulary always tells the same one.

Elise: Mommy/Daddy, Knock-Knock
M/D: Who's There?
Elise: anana (banana)
M/D: Banana Who?
Elise: eat
M/D/Elise: ha ha ha ha

Always, Always the same joke from Elise. I think she started telling the banana one because of the banana, banana, banana, orange - orange you glad I didn't say banana joke.

Then, there's Ava, who takes a few risks. Here's one she said the other day that made me hold my breath in anticipation of what exactly she was going to say.

Ava: Elise, Knock-Knock
Elise: (Who's There?)
Ava: Jesus Christ
Elise? (Jesus Christ Who?)
Ava: Jesus Christ, Amen (which is what we say at the end of our prayers)

Speaking of Jesus' name and other things - I've been kind of teasing Chris about having another baby and getting the kids to talk about it too. We hadn't said anything for a few days then on Sunday I was in my closet getting ready for church and Ava says:
Ava: Mommy, I said a prayer
Mommy: Good, what did you say?
Ava: I said, Jesus Christ can we please have another baby...and Daddy wants another girl. (It was particularly funny because she said the first part almost in a huff - which I know she wasn't intendening - it just came out that way.

And no, this is not my way of telling everyone I'm pregnant or that I'm going to be any time soon. I just like to make Chris sweat a little. :)

Love the little jokes. I can't believe Elise is already telling some of her own.

I love the knock knock joke phase, especially when they aren't quite old enough to get them the right way yet! I remember William telling the same ones over and over and over and over and over and over. Oh, and I love the ones they make up themselves.
