It's yes joke

Something which I think is special to see in your child is humour.

When children start school they learn lots of things about the world, not just the usual reading and writing.

My eldest had only been at school for two weeks, when she came home and told me she had a joke for me.

I asked her what it was, and she was quite happy to share.

“Knock knock” she said.

Ah one of those jokes I thought.

“Who’s there,” I replied.

She smiled, noting that I knew what I was doing,

“Cow,” she said.

“Cow who?” I asked, continuing the joke even though by now I was pretty sure I knew the punchline.

“Cows go Moo, not who” she said with glee.

I had been ready for a slight variation on the usual theme, but grinned along with her, and was inwardly impressed that she had got the punch line right.

That joke was a lot easier  to guess than the question she came home with from holiday club,

“Can you guess the name of the driver of our bus today? His name starts with M.”

We were up for a guessing game and called out our answers,

I guessed “Mark”  no…

 “Michael..., Max..., Mike..., Matthew...,” her father and I both tried, but each one got a “no,” and a shake of the head.

“We give up” we both said.

“Mr Brian” she said, happy to have won the competition.

My husband and I caught each other’s eyes, and both cracked up, that was one guessing game which we would have been playing for a long time.
