I have been so interested lately in listening to Sam and his really awful jokes. He just thinks he is hilarious when he ends everything with "head" or "face." For example:
Sam - "Hey Mom?"
Mom- "What?"
Sam - "You are a carface!" (erupts with laughter)
or . . .
Sam - "Vivian! What's a glooky-head?" (Again with wild laughter)
His jokes even become risque when he ryhmes them with words that are off limits like stupid or hate.
Sam (saying this very under his breath) "Hupid-face."
Mom - "What are you saying back there?"
Sam - "Nothing! I didn't say stupid, I said hupid Mom. So it's o.k. right?"

We have worked on some good jokes, but they just don't stick with him. The whole "knock, knock" stand-bye is just too advanced.
Mom - "Knock, Knock Sam."
Sam - "Knock, knock."
Mom - "No, you're supposed to say, 'Who's there?'"
Sam - "Oh, who's there?"
Mom - "Ach."
Sam - "What?? That's not funny!"
Mom - "No, when you say, 'Ach-who' and then I say, 'Bless you Sam!' That is the funny part."
(All of this just blows past him.)
The other day when we were driving in the car, he had the following conversation with another 4 year old and I realized just how on the same page 4 year-olds really are.
Sam - "Hey Daniel! Knock, knock."
Daniel - "Who's there?"
Sam - "Spider-head!"
Daniel - "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Sam you are so funny!"
I guess his stand-up is pretty impressive after all when he targets his audience.
