My daughter is 5 now. She's discovered the joy of telling jokes. Unfortunately, her repertoire is painfully small. I've also realised most of my jokes are either not age appropriate or too situational.

What are best/worst kids jokes? Extra points for any that would make her teacher groan. Apparently she LOVES jokes. ๐Ÿ˜

I would suggest a book of jokes specifically for kids. Like this one.

It's free on Kindle Unlimited. You don't even have to let your daughter know that you're getting them from a book.

Be careful you're not getting something written by AI that is not just terrible, but completely inappropriate. A human author could also do that, but...

Funny thing about this on is that my wife actually ghost wrote it. A few of the jokes in it are my creation.

We don't get money from the sales. We just think it's cool that it's out in the world.

Do they not sell kids joke books in the check out line at the grocery store anymore? Used to be tons of those.

There's no room at the ubiquitous self checkouts, and smartphones have made printed media more novelty than EDC.

I pull out a sketch book, say I will do a portrait and put my thump up for reference then hand them a high detail illustration of my own thumb. Lot of effort.

I have some sense of self preservation. She's bad enough right now calling everyone a banana!

Why shouldn't you go the forest at noon?
That's when the ripe elephants fall from the trees.

Why does the alligator have such a flat nose?
Because he went to the forest at noon.

Bonus points if you space them out a bit with unrelated jokes.

I feel like a rambly long-form joke like this could really land: https://youtu.be/AXtNUgEWgQI
