Before I forget them, I want to memorialize the first two complete jokes Jack ever told. On Monday morning, Jack and Lily were eating breakfast in the dining room. Lily was telling some knock knock jokes and then Jack suddenly came up with two of his own:
Jack: Knock Knock!
Lily: Who's there?
Jack: Orange.
Lily: Orange who?
Jack: Lily is an orange! (with lots of fake laughter after the punch line)
Lily was angry about this joke for some reason, although God knows she's said way worse things about Jack.
Jack: Knock Knock!
Lily: Who's there?
Jack: Banana.
Lily: Banana who?
Jack: Banana Jackie! (more fake laughter after the punchline).
The fake laugher after the punchline is my favorite part. Jack's his own best audience. Jim and I were cracking up, but only because the jokes were so silly. Jack appears to have gotten his ideas from the old knock knock joke where the punch line is "Orange you glad I didn't say banana again?" It's the mainstay of Lily's knock knock repetoire.

When I was counting with them last night, I asked Jack what comes after 3 and he said, "PINK!"
I think he might be on to something.
