Kid Lulu's Comedy Hour
Not only is my four-year-old daughter a world-class comic, but she's now deftly weaving the Absurdist philosophical movement into her act. As a result, Kid Lulu has been slaying 'em at school with her hot new batch of surreal knock-knock jokes. My friend Stephanie Hayes swears Lu's gags have restorative powers, so I thought I'd share a couple.
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Tree!
Tree who?
A lightbulb that poops.
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Magazine!
Magazine who?
A lamp with pants on.
Knock knock!
Who's there?
Poop!
Poop who?
Woof! Woof!
If you'd like to share your own knock-knock jokes with Kid Lulu, she'd love to hear them...


Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.

My son needs to contribute to this knock knock thing. He had a phase where the goofiest things became knock,knock jokes ... few made sense, but I laughed all the same (you can see where he gets his humor).

Yes, Jane! I love it. Those will tease Lulu's brain for hours tonight. Well done.

My favorite kid joke:
Why did Tigger look in the toilet?
He was looking for Pooh!

This was Chester in Cuba's favorite joke for about a year.
Knock knock.

Orange.
Orange who?
Uh-oh, baseball!
He was very avant-garde 2-year-old.

A bit late and not knock knock jokes.
An Englishman, an Irishman and an American walk into a bar, the bartender turns around and says "what is this, a bad joke?'
And my favourite joke of all time,
2 baby seals walk into a club.
