The girls continue to hone their joke-telling skills, using me as their unfortunate foil. This morning’s selection came once again from Lauren.
Joke 1
Q. How do you make anti-freeze?
A. Lock her in the fridge.
[Aside: One of my earliest memories is wondering why this joke got such a big laugh when I didn't even understand it. The reason, it turned out, was because I was asking "How do you make granny freeze?". I was just wondering where Lauren got such a well-polished joke from when out tumbled another one.]
Joke 2
Q. Why did the prawn go out with the fig?
A. Because he couldn’t get a date.
I loved that one, especially the nicely random prawn touch.
It was at this point that Hannah came running in, clutching the Puffin’s Brilliantly Big Bumper Joke Book, and shouted, “No, Lauren, it’s prune!”
