"Why did the chicken cross the road?" inquires Duncan as he flips his Laffy Taffy wrapper over to peek at the answer. I admit my defeat with a shrug and the kindergarten class squeals with delight that Duncan has outwitted me.
Of course this creates a flurry of spinoffs. Suddenly I am bombarded with questions as to why the turkey, the skeleton, the rabbit, etc. are making their way across the road.
And then I feel another little tug at my jacket. It's Max.
"Knock, knock" he says, already chuckling at his own joke.
"Who's there?"
His face goes blank; I can tell he's lost his train of thought. After a few seconds of wracking his brain for the answer, he shouts, "BANANA I DIDN'T SAY ORANGE!"
Sometimes the mistakes are funnier than the jokes. :)
