I Love Lamp!

So my 3 year old son has begun telling jokes.  As many kids do, he’s discovered the thrill of the knock-knock joke.  I’m not sure where he learned this art of humor but he’s sure having fun with it.  He looks me in the eyes and says “knock-knock”, and after I ask “who’s there?”, he then looks over my shoulder and says whatever he happens to notice first.  Yesterday, he said “wall”.  It reminds me of Steve Carell’s hilarious role in Anchor Man where he says “I Love Lamp”…just because he happens to see the lamp.  Now, there’s nothing funny about the real knock-knock jokes (they’re the lamest of jokes)…but to see my son try and make me laugh and to watch him look around at the most random things to insert as the punchline is truely funny.  I love just knowing he’s trying to make me laugh.  I know that one day he’ll know better…he’ll see that his knock-knock jokes suck really bad, but as far as his dad is concerened I hope he doesn’t get too smart too quick.  Right now, jokes that involve “wall” are okay with me.
