Jonah and Jokes
Jonah is old enough to understand the idea of jokes, but young enough that telling him jokes (and having him tell jokes) can be a very odd experience. As an example, I told him this joke:
Rebecca: What is brown and sticky?
Jonah: Chocolate?
Rebecca: A stick.
Jonah laughs hysterically.
A bit later, Jonah tried his own version:
Q: What is green and sticky and can shoot you with a laser beam?
A: A green stick with a laser beam attached to it!
Jonah laughs hysterically again.
Also, he still loves his odd knock-knock joke form:
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
