I was in Brighton last weekend for my Mates Stepdaughters 14th Birthday.
I was sitting outside with Birthday Girl (Charley) and she was asking me for some jokes.
I told her a few of my own jokes, but the stony silence told me that she hadn't quite matured yet as an audience member, there could be no other explanation.
So then I tried to Rack my brains for jokes that made me laugh at fourteen, and of the 25 percent that were appropriate, there was still hardly a flicker.
Just a blank stare & a request to explain it each time.
I managed one giggle by retelling a old Tony Curtis Joke with Justin Bieber instead.
Later on my Friend aked me about the chat I'd been having.
She seemed so serious, what were you talking about?
I was telling her some jokes!
Then I got my first laugh of the day.
Anyway back on Topic
What jokes would you tell a kid If you were trying to make them laugh?
Were there any jokes you heard when you were young that you only understood years later?
Or do you remember the first joke you heard or told?
Mine wa a Lolly stick one.
Why Did the Orange stop rolling
Because it ran out of juice.
I didn't know that juice was a term for petrol, so it was a bit rubbish, but once that had been explained, it was still rubbish
