This morning as was listening to my kids tell each other knock-knock jokes that don't make sense, I remembered a family reunion that I went to as a child a long time ago. It was held at Gran's home (A-frame house, I think) and one of the adults told all the kids that we would be able to share a joke at the family gathering that afternoon. I didn't know any jokes, but fortunately I passed by a room where Candice was telling some other cousins a joke she was planning on doing. I still remember it. It went like this:
Knock knock
Who's there?
Banana.
Knock knock
Who's there?
Banana.
Knock knock
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I stopped saying banana?
I thought the joke was the most hilarious thing I'd ever heard. So when it was my turn to tell a joke at the reunion, that is the one I told. They must have started youngest to oldest or something, because I got to go before Candice and I totally got the scoop on her.
I just wanted to tell you, Candice that I am sorry, and I hope you forgive me. I will never copy one of your knock knock jokes again.
ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now that is funny!
ReplyDeletestealing jokes. that is hilarious!! oh poor candice. has she forgiven you?
ReplyDeleteYou realize Candice didn't make that up herself, either, right? She's a joke stealer, too.
ReplyDeleteDonovan use to make up jokes and laugh at them. They made no sense. That was the funny part.
ReplyDeleteCandice where are you? Why have you not commented? What does this silence mean? Am I truly not forgiven?
ReplyDeleteKnock, Knock
ReplyDeleteWhose there?

Dwane who
Dwane the tub before I dwown!

okay that's hysterical, and the girls' party looks like such a hit! yahoo!
ReplyDeleteI am here! I do not know how I could have missed this post! At our last reunion, they said that, "Bagleys get along" but in truth, "Bagleys block bad experiences". I had successfully blocked this traumatic event from my mind, and thank you, Chelsea for reopening the wound.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. In truth, you probably told it better than me, and I have some really excellent Pollock jokes in my arsenal. Hopefully I told the one about the Pollock and the car door in the desert. That is my favorite.
Since when did Candice start telling Jackson Pollock jokes? I don't think his paintings are very.....hey wait a minute...."Orange you glad"....that is hilarious! Good show, Chelsea.
ReplyDeleteCandice tells some good jokes. She has a great one about a small dog and a fireplace.
