Stages

For those of you with older kids (especially boys), can you please tell me how long the corny-jokes-that-make-no-sense-whatsoever phase lasts?

It. Is. Killing. Me.

Some examples.

Fletcher: Knock, knock.
Mom: Who's there?
Fletcher: Chicken.
Mom: Chicken who?
Fletcher: Chicken, blicken, licken. Hahahahahaha (totally cracking himself up)

Fletcher: I made up this joke. Wanna hear it?
Dad: Sure.
Fletcher: What kind of star likes to fight?
Dad: I don't know.
Fletcher: Star Wars. Get it? Hahahahahaha.

Fletcher: Knock, knock.
Mom: Who's there?
Fletcher: Banana.
Mom: (I think I might remember this one) Banana who?
Fletcher: Knock, knock.
Mom: Who's there?
Fletcher: Banana.
Mom: Banana who?
Fletcher: Knock, knock.
Mom: Who's there?
Fletcher: Apple.
Mom: Apple who?
Fletcher: Aren't you glad I didn't say banana? Hahahahaha
Mom: I think it is supposed to be "orange."
Fletcher: (blank stare) I don't get it.

This could be a long few weeks, months or possibly years.

Happy 1st Birthday today to my great nephew Wesley. My that year went by fast!
