I can honestly say that I never thought the day would come where Jon would be entranced by joke book humour, the way many boys are, repeating their favourite corny joke over and over from a limited selection of all-corny jokes. Not that it’s a physical joke book, but an online collection at the Between the Lions PBS site. But the rest of the behaviour is identical, especially the uncontrollable cackling laughter that makes you wonder if he’ll die from asphyxiation or loss of bladder control first.
Then comes the swell of pride, since his favourite joke is a pun. Ah yes, Daddy’s boy. 🙂
Where does a cow go on Saturday night?
To the Mooooo-vies
Thanks, you’ve been a great audience. Try the veal.

Admittedly, some of his guffawing is because of the game’s sound effects and laughter of the character telling the jokes. (One joke, with a punchline that referenced both the Pledge of Allegiance and Lemon Pledge, would’ve sailed right past Jon’s ken–yet he still laughed his head off.) However, judging from belly laughs, the mooo-vies joke is by far his favourite, and he definitely understands that one!

David: I read Jon your joke and he responded with a goofy grin and “that’s silly!” Thumbs up!
