Riddles & Jokes


Noah has learned the charm of jokes. She hasn't learned the pacing or the importance of the punch-line, but she knows we get a kick out of her asking us why the chicken crossed the road. Sometimes she says the punch-line before you get to shrug your shoulders and tell her, "I don't know, why?" Tonight she learned a riddle. It took several tries and still hasn't totally worked it out. She asks, "What's black and white and red all over?" When you say, "What," she twinkles her eyes and covers her mouth and giggles and says, "Paper with paint on it." We tried to tell her it's, a newspaper, but she thinks paper with paint on it is much funnier. Actually, she's right.

Don't get her started on Knock, knock... she'll tell you it's Orange before she even tries to say banana.
