Estragon and Vladimir Play Knock Knock

Sabrina is trying to teach her sister the art of the knock knock joke. At three years old, the Shaolin Toddler has a sense of humour, but it's not quite sophisticated enough to grasp the subtle wordplay at work here. To me, the entire exchange resembles nothing so much as a lost scene from "Waiting for Godot."

Diva Girl: Say "knock knock" , Regan.

Regan: Knock knock

DG: Who's there?

R: Knock Knock!

DG: Knock knock who?

R: KNOCK KNOCK!!!!

DG: Knock knock who? Now you say "Banana."

R: Banana!

DG: Banana who?

R: Knock Knock!

DG: Knock knock.

R: Banana knock knock!!!

A little something lost in the translation, I think.

Hibiscus' joke-claim-to-fame is stolen from Spongebob...

Did you hear about the paper at the bottom of the ocean?
It was all washed up!

He pauses before "washed up" for dramatic effect and then rolls around laughing. It was pretty funny...the first 10 times. :)

About Me

You say "Single Mom," I say "Solo Mom." In my world, it's all about having your priorities in order, and getting my whites whiter than white is never, ever going to be a priority. Helping my girls paste glitter to their artwork, that's a priority. Sometimes I hide in the bathroom to get a bit of peace and quiet. But I never have to share the kisses.
