The joke that turned dinner time chaos into connection time.
Why Did The Chicken? isn’t just a joke book — it’s a confidence-building comedy challenge for kids aged 4–8 (and a front-row seat for you).
My son was desperate to get my attention at the dinner table.
“Daddy, I’ve got a joke to tell you!”
I look up from my phone. “Go for it.”
He grins.
“What do you call someone who farts? A poo poo head!”
He laughs so hard he nearly falls off his chair. Tumbleweed enters our house, and the rest of us just smile.
"Was that funny daddy?"
I think for a second, not wanting to offend him, before smiling at him. "Sort of... but how about this instead?"
So I tell my joke — with a real setup and killer punchline.
"What did the nose say to the finger?"
Putting my finger up my nose, I looked him dead in the eyes and said in a nasal voice.
"Quit picking on me!
He laughs so hard that literal snot flies out of his nose! The whole table cracks up — half laughing, half horrified!
“That was way better than mine! Do you know any more?”
It wasn't the best joke in the world, and I'm far from a stand-up comedian, but it certainly sparked his attention.
On a roll, I continue...
“Knock, knock.”
He freezes, no idea what to say next.
So I explain how a knock-knock joke works and ask again.
He tries once more —
“Knock knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Interrupting Cow.”
“Interrupting C—”
“MOOOOOOOOO!”
My two-year-old howls with laughter. He kept mooing for the rest of the evening — and then started telling the joke himself!
That’s when I realised I was onto something. Kids don’t just want to tell jokes — they want to perform them.
A couple of simple jokes had turned a dull evening into one full of fun, connection and confidence!
A Grooooaaaannn-Up...🤦♂️
