Have you ever had an under 6 year old tell you a joke?
It goes something like this…
Why did the chicken drive up the street? Uh Why? Cuz his car was in the garage. huhhhhh???
Then they fall on the floor laughing their butt off.
Their jokes consist of one half – part of a joke they heard and one half – mix in new parts. Then when they can’t recall the punchline they make one up on the fly. And normally it has nothing to do with the original part of the joke. But to them, it is the funniest thing they have ever heard.
Or worse, try doing a knock knock joke.
Knock Knock… Who’s there?…. (looking around the room) ahh Couch….. Couch who?……Couch is in the front room!
Ahhh haaa haaaa and they are on floor rolling again…
And we start laughing or smiling as we are left scratching our head because while the joke was so bad, they make us smile because they think they just won Last Comic Standing.
So your mission is to find a laugh in the next 24 hours by asking a kid under age 6 to tell you a joke. The joke may not be funny, but the experience sure will!
~~~till we laugh again~~~
