seven eight nine

This is a painful time at our house: our kids THINK they know how to tell jokes. Tonight, Jon got them going with an old standby, and then, well, you judge: Dad: Why was six afraid of seven? kids: I dunno Dad: Because seven eight nine! M: Why was 10 afraid of two? Mom: why? M: Because of six and seven. Mom: That doesn't make sense. M: Yes it does, and it's funny. Like this one: why did eight nine ten? Mom: why? M: Because of three. Mom: Sweetie, the reason dad's joke is funny is because of eating, like the number seven actually ate... M: Why did the napkin cross the road and jump over the fence? Mom: why? M: to get to the other side. And it went on like this for at least ten minutes.
