The Carpool Chronicles for September 6, 2012

IMG_7889.jpgToday was day five of carpooling, and we now have an additional passenger, a big ol’ Kindergardner who lives in our neighborhood. It’s funny how much older he seems. So now we have five kids, and holy cow are five kids ever loud! Thanks to Kiki for teaching the boys about the Medium Game. Because a carful of four and five year olds don’t necessarily take well to the Quiet Game. They’d much rather play the LOUD GAME. But Miss Pam does not like that game. So the Medium Game it is. Who can talk the most “medium”? It’s genius because it takes the pressure off the kids to be silent, and still lets them run their mouths. Just (relatively) quietly.

Genius.

Now I come to you for help. The kids like to tell jokes, but they’re terrible at it. Ha. So I want to teach them some simple, short jokes appropriate for 4 and 5 year olds. Knock knock jokes especially. So please share your favorites in the comments.

    My miles has one joke: why do birds fly all around? Because it is faster than walking. It is getting old so am going to troll these comments!

    Knock knock — who’s there? — oink, oink — oink, oink who? — Can’t you make up your mind? Are you a pig or an owl?

    My son’s (and nephew’s) favorite is:
    Knock Knock
    Who’s there?
    Interrupting cow.
    Interrupting c-
    MOO!
    The timing thing is a little beyond my son sometimes (he’s the same age as your boys) but they LOVE this joke. Be prepared for lots of Moo yelling and giggling.

    My daughter knows:
    What did the parrot want for the 4th of July? A firecracker.
    What do you call a dog in the summer? A hot dog.
    Knock Knock. Who’s there? Lettuce. Lettuce Who? Let us in it’s cold outside.
    Knock Knock. Who’s there? Turnip. Turnip Who? Turn up the heat, it’s cold outside.
    And this one backfired, but it get’s some laughs!…
    Do you want to hear a dirty joke? A pig fell in the mud. (or substitute a boy’s name)
    Do you want to hear a clean joke? A pig took a bath.

    I just came across your blog through TopMommyBlogs. I have surviving quadruplets. They were also born in December 2007! The 13th to be exact. My lucky number! LOL The joke my kiddo tell (they made it up themselves) is Knock Knock, Who’s there? Tickle. Tickle Who? Tickle (insert name here). Then they will tickle that person….LOL. Might not work for driving but it is fun to watch at home! If you want you can visit my site at
