The Bolt

I give my daughter more credit than that. Her joke comprehension is far more advanced than most adults around her assume it to be.

She is also astute in creating her own jokes. She loves telling jokes to her friends in grade 4. Last week she came up to me and said, "I've come up with a new joke. Do you want to hear it?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"Why did the frog say he was hungry?"

At this point I'm wracking my brain, trying to find some connection between hunger and frogs. Ribbit? Croak? Tadpole? Jumping? I eventually gave up and answered, "I don't know, why?"

"Because he was hungry!" exclaimed my daughter with a huge grin on her face.

I groaned and then laughed, because her punch line was so unexpected, and so well-delivered.
