My just-about-four year old grandson, Michael, is learning to be funny, possibly a hereditary trait. Here is Michael telling us one of his first ever jokes:
Michael: "Why is six afraid of seven?"
Bobbi and Me: "Why?"
Michael: "Because eight.. no, wait. Let me start over."
Us: "OK."
Michael: (Thinks for a moment, then starts) "Why is six afraid of seven?"
Us: "Why?"
Michael: (Now confident) "Because seven eight nine!"
Bobbi: (Groans. She always groans at my jokes. So why not his?)
Michael: "No, it's funny. Really. It's really funny." (Pauses a beat) "See, it's because numbers don't have teeth. So they can't eat other numbers!"
So that's why it's funny!
