Dinner Conversation

Dinner around here has become a big joke telling event. It goes something like this:

Quinn: Knock, knock
James: Who's there?
Quinn: Chicken
James: Chicken who?
Quinn: Chicken crossing the road to get rice cream.

Catherine: Knock, knock
James: Who's there?
Catherine: Chicken
James: Chicken who?
Catherine: Chicken crossing the road to get rice cream

James: Knock, knock
Catherine: Who's there?
James: Doorbell's broken.
Catherine: Doorbell's broken who?
James: No, your doorbell is broken, that's why I had to knock

Quinn: Knock, knock
James: Who's there?
Quinn: Doorbell's broken.
James: Doorbell's broken who?
Quinn: It's broken, I had to knock

Catherine: Knock, knock
James: Who's there?
Catherine: Doorbell
James: Doorbell who?
Catherine: I had to knock


Quinn: Knock knock
James: Who's there?
Quinn: Chicken
James: Chicken who?
Quinn: Chicken cluck cluck

hysterical laughter from the kids

Catherine: Knock knock
James: Who's there?
Catherine: Chicken
James: Chicken who?
Catherine: Chicken cluck cluck

hysterical laughter from the kids

This goes on for about ten minutes. Catherine never seems to tire of telling the same jokes Quinn has just done.

And finally, our favorite of the night:

James: Knock knock
Catherine: Who's there?
James: Doctor
Catherine: Doctor who?
James: I LOVE that TV show.

josh's favourite that he keeps telling people at the moment is,
Q: why did the toilet paper roll down the hill?
A: to get to the bottom!

Funny that James is probably the only one who gets the Dr. Who joke, but the kids laugh anyway.

Our favorites:

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Dwayne.
Dwayne who?
Dwayne the bathtub, I'm dwowning.

and

Q: What do the Star Ship Enterprise and a piece of toilet paper have in common?
A: They both circle Uranus in search of Klingons.

(At which point, for even greater laughs, I ask the boys to point to Uranus.)
