Jokes for kids 3-7

@shahnm I mean. Who did you think far jokes were made for? Lol

@shahnm I was thinking along the same lines but then I read @Kidsandliz’s dad jokes and neither of them were funny. I think with kid jokes, you typically get a cheap laugh.

@njfan @shahnm Kid jokes are often puns. Many of the jokes in the thing I posted are puns. As kids in that age range are just figuring out puns they frequently think they are hilarious (because they are puns and thus to them novel and unexpected) even if adults think they are stupid. And clever adults figure out how to play into that to amuse their kids.

Mid/late grade school kids are often in love with body noises and bodily functions. Teach many of them how to make a fart noise with their arm pit and they are in 7th heaven and at some point in time you will wish you hadn’t done so.

@Kidsandliz @shahnm meh?

@Kidsandliz @shahnm uh, I know it’s not in vogue these days but I would like to apologize to @kidsandliz. Just (yikes) got the second joke. None = nun. That’s funny. I was wrong.

@njfan @shahnm Of course that joke is easier to “get” when heard rather than read… (grin). I had debated whether to write it nun of the above or none of the above as it punned either way.

And dad (and his sister) were the pun masters and it would get out of control on occasion. Once at thanksgiving dinner the rest of us voted to shut them up. My aunt did, my dad did not. We used his cloth napkin to make a gag (the rest of us had paper ones).

Of course some of that rubbed off on us(or maybe it was a genetic defect? LOL). As we’d walk the 3/4 of a mile to school sometimes we’d pun the entire way and then try to figure out how we went from the pun we started with to the pun we ended with.

@Kidsandliz Those are a couple of great stories!

@njfan @shahnm PS I meant to also say thanks for the appology - probably the joke was harder to get due to my decision to go with “none” rather than “nun” of the above.

@njfan @shahnm When I lived in the Netherlands they usually have subtitles under foreign TV content. So a kid’s cartoon was on the TV. The stars were ducks and there was a pun on duck with the ducks ducking down. Of course translated into Dutch the pun didn’t exist and my friends looked at me like Americans were too weird in what we found funny. I had to explain the pun.

@Kidsandliz @njfan Natuurlijk, als je de woordspeling moet uitleggen, ruïneert het deze…

@Kidsandliz The nun joke is actually really good, if you ask me. Then again, I am the dad joke guy…

@shahnm Dad could be pretty clever with puns. I like that one too. Now the hamburger one, well I can see why we drove mom crazy with that one. Dad would wake up each morning with 3-5 new jokes. His day couldn’t start until he told them all to us. We told him if he wrote them all down that maybe by the end of the year there might be enough decent ones for a book.
