My (soon-to-be) 2 year old has decided he's quite the funny guy and will tell knock-knock jokes all day long. Problem is he tells the same joke over and over. Let me illustrate:
Noah: Cock-cock (This is probably the funniest part)
Me: Who's there?
Noah: Bana (meaning banana)
Me: Bana who?
Noah: HAHAHAHA!!! Funny!
It was hilarious the first couple of times. Now it just drives me insane.
Lola's jokes are a whole different story. She will make up her own knock-knock jokes and they ALL go something like this:
Lola: Knock-knock
Me: ...
Lola: Mom!! I said Knock-knock!
Me: ... (trying to ignore her--trust me, you get her started and it NEVER ends, and she gets offended if you don't laugh)
Lola: Argh! KNOCK-KNOCK!!
Me: Who is it? (Once again, trying to avoid the pain)
Lola: You're supposed to say "Who's there?"
Me: Quien es?
Lola: MOM!
Me: Who's there?!
Lola: Orange
Me: Orange who?
Lola: Orange-borange-lorange! HAHAHA!!!
And the others are pretty much the same. All she does is look around, find something that catches her eye and then make up words that rhyme. And honestly, she has stomped out of the room if her one-person audience (moi) does not pee her pants and fall to the floor in hysterics. Whoever said mothering was a piece of cake never had aspiring 2 and 4 year old comedians at home.

My little brother Jakie used to do that when he was but a babe. Only he'd tell long, boring story-jokes and then put in a punch line that didn't make any sense. And, you HAD to laugh, or he'd cry.
I feel for you.
