My Granddaughter is very much into corny knock knock jokes, so thank you for providing two new ones. She'll love them!
We'll have to wait until after dinner entertainment. Since Granddaughter prefers to crack herself up laughing vs. eating, Mommy and Daddy have 'banned' knock knock jokes at the dinner table :)
These.
My granddaughter will love 'em. Happy Thanksgiving Lisa!
This could possibly be the BEST Thanksgiving ever! Amara and her parents have always spent the actual Thanksgiving holiday at Amara's paternal grandparents and they come here the following Saturday. BUT THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are having Thanksgiving with us ON Thanksgiving!
Grandma Kc: I am so excited and happy for you! I know this is a huge, huge, HUGE deal for you. It's going to be wonderful, and I look forward to hearing all about it afterward. ♥
Those jokes remind me of all you kids around a table about thirty-five years ago, everybody trying to tell a joke, knock-knock jokes being the biggest deal; hope everybody uses a few of them at their Thanksgiving table this year.
Have a great one everybody.
Just told my kid all 20! Thanks for the laugh!
I used this same list to send to my office this past week. People just love these simple jokes!
Too Cute!
I need me some grandchildren!
