Vinny has recently learned the art of the knock-knock joke (sort of). Just now as I was putting him to bed, I was treated to the following:
Vinny: Knock Knock!
Me: Who's there?
Vinny: Orange!
Me: Orange who?
Vinny: Orange fan! [hysterical laughter]
Vinny: Knock Knock!
Me: Who's there?
Vinny: Red!
Me: Red who?
Vinny: Red light!
[we both laugh]
Me: Okay, okay, my turn. Knock Knock!
Vinny: Who's there?
Me: Nighty!
Vinny: Nighty who?
Me: Nighty Night!
[much laughter from both of us. I kiss him, get up, and leave the room.]

My son's first knock knock joke went something like this:
Jack: Knock, knock!
Me: Who's there?
Jack: Betcho!
Me: (bemused) Betcho who?
Jack: Betcho comes riding on a book with an orange and a banana and an ICE CREAM CONE!
Very surreal, the early knock-knock joke.
