Jokes for Kids

Posted by Denise Oliveri Jul 5, 2007

My kids have gone through all three stages of the joke telling series (as I am sure many of your kids have, too!).

Phases

• Age 2 to 4: Said something silly that made no sense at all, and still managed to make me laugh.
• Age 5 to 7: Trying to put something together that is related, not very funny, but worthy of a chuckle.
• Age 8 & up: Remembers actual funny jokes that they've heard and are really quite hilarious.

I want to share some of the latter phase jokes with you that my kids have told me recently. Sometimes we just need to laugh. Research shows that laughter is good medicine. Take this for example:

"Laughter is a healing activity. You may have seen the movie called "Patch Adams," which is a movie about a real life doctor who still practices today and uses laughter as healing. He's quite correct in using laughter as a healing therapy, because it is one of the most healing activities in which you can engage." (News Target.com: Thursday, April 28, 2005 by: Mike Adams)

On to the jokes!

"I can't believe it! My wallet was stolen right out from under my nose."

"Gee, it probably would have been safer in your pants pocket."

A small boy was fishing through a small hole in the ice when a bigger boy came by and said, "You sure are dumb. If you catch a large fish, you'll never be able to get it through that small hole." The smaller boy responded, "No, you're the one who is dumb. If I catch a big fish, it won't be able to pull me through this small hole."
