Lately the children have taken to telling jokes. It's been pretty hilarious!
As soon as one child tells a joke the rest get right in there with a little 'I've got a good one.'
The jokes are pretty clever. They mostly go something like this,
"Why did the tree cross the road?"
"To get a banana."
The children then in turn lay down on the ground and wave their legs in the air and laugh hysterically.
Even though the jokes don't make sense to an adult, hearing hysterical laughter is so satisfying, and on the other side the 'ROFL' is just so worthwhile. It's only when we grow older that we understand that humour has rules (kinda takes the fun out of it all). When a child tells me one of these nonsensical jokes I immediately get the urge to google jokes to share my own, because i'm an adult and those rules are like a infection that take the fun out of humour.
Oh to be a child and not feel the need to tell jokes that require thought.
Because a tree crossing the road to get a banana is pretty funny.
