My daughter is 5 now. She’s discovered the joy of telling jokes. Unfortunately, her repertoire is painfully small. I’ve also realised most of my jokes are either not age appropriate or too situational.

What are best/worst kids jokes? Extra points for any that would make her teacher groan. Apparently she LOVES jokes. 😁

    Gonna jump in here so you teach your kid right:

    Cue, pronounced “Q,” is the spelling for "time to go on stage or say your line " or in this case, “time to look confused.”

    Qué is pronounced “K” and is basically Spanish for what, although “por qué?” is “Why?”

    I know that because of the old joke about the lady crying at her husband’s coffin “Por qué, por qué?” And the coffin opened and said “Butter.” But the reference is too old.

    Anyway Queue is the last one, it’s English English, pronounced “Q” and means people standing in a line, just as all the silent letters are.

      There’s a few spellings I apparently have blind spot for. That is definitely one of them.
