@’s First Knock-Knock Joke


@: Knock, knock, mommy?!
Me: Who’s there?
@: I pee-pee!
Me: I pee-pee who?
@: I pee-pee! (Big laughter)
Me: I pee-pee?
@: Yup! (More big laughter)
Pause
Me: (my best fake, genuine, big laughter)
Me: You should tell that one to J. (his speech therapist)
@: Okay!

One hour later… Arrive @ speech therapy & we first encounter S. the office manager.

Me: @, why don’t you tell S. your joke.
@: Knock, knock?!

S: I pee-pee?
@: Yup! (More big laughter)
Pause

@: Yeah!

@: Knock, knock?!
J: Who’s there?
@: I poopy!

@: (look on face - utter astonishment)
J: I thought it was I pee-pee? I don’t like I poopy. I pee-pee is better.

@: I pee-pee!
J: I pee-pee who?
@: I pee-pee! (Big laughter)
