Humor

What kind of pet does the sun have? A hot dog

What kind of dog wins every contest? A wienner dog

What did the taco say to the burrito? Where have you bean?

What did Dollar name his kid? Buck

What did the whale do when he got mad? He blew his top

These are some jokes that we have gotten recently on our popsicle sticks. The older two kids are just starting to understand jokes and what is funny about them. Needless to say, they still really don't get these jokes. They (and I) laugh when we tell them, but they just don't grasp why they are funny. I know this because both Joe and Tom start changing the original joke but not the punch line. Then they start making their own jokes and punch lines. I laugh, simply because I think that a child's humor is one of my favorite things, but the jokes don't really make any sense.
Tom's joke: What kind of pet does a whale have? His answer: A shark. I tried to explain that catfish or dogfish or even seahorse would be a better answer, but he stuck by his answer.
Joe's joke: What did the Chair name his kid? His answer: Leg.
Too funny
