The Continuing Adventures of RedPlanet: Kiddie Comedian, Part III

Truthfully, I have a terrible memory for jokes, and never seem to get around to mining the Internet for good kids jokes. Oh yeah, and ya'll haven't helped matters by not sending any in this month. Anyway, for this installment of the CloudEight Comedy Club, I had to resort to the only joke everyone can remember, and which isn't even funny under the best of circumstances.

Me: "Joke time guys. Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Cooper: "What chicken Dad, what chicken??? Where is that chicken???"

Me: "Nowhere Cooper, its just a joke; a pretend chicken."

Cooper: "Oh."

Me: "So, why did the chicken cross the road?"

Owen: "I don't know, why."

Me: "To get to the other side."

[Silence; blank looks]

Me: "Its like the world's oldest joke."

[Owen shrugs]

Hayden: "I'm going to follow that chicken."

The guys then began to lay their own jokes on me, all of them knock-knock jokes, all of them involving gibberish, and all of them ending with one of two punchlines - "Putt-putt man" or "Poopyhead" - either one guaranteed to leave the other two brothers in stitches. Oy.
