Happy Sunday and there's a new Paper Players challenge coming your way!
This week the theme is courtesy of Ann. I had to think about it for a while and then this happened:
My son Ryan is five and LOVES knock-knock jokes. Several times a week, we have this conversation:
Ryan: Hey Mama, knock-knock!
Me: Who's there?
Ryan: Boo.
Me: Boo who?
Ryan: *hysterical laughter*
He also tells other knock-knock jokes that make zero sense but he thinks they're funny. I taught him the one that goes like this:
Me: Knock-knock!
Ryan: Who's there?
Me: Banana.
Ryan: Banana who?
Me: Knock-knock!
Ryan: Who's there?
Me: Banana.
Ryan: Banana who?
Me: Knock-knock!
Ryan: Who's there?
Me: Banana.
Ryan: Banana who?
Me: Knock-knock!
Ryan: WHO'S THERE!!!
Me: Orange.
Ryan: *already laughing* Orange who?
Me: Orange you glad I didn't say Banana?
Ryan: *more laughing*
So yes I made a card based on a silly knock-knock joke. The card base (including the watercolor splat) was from a past Paper Pumpkin kit, the one with the silly puns, but even though that kit had bananas in it, I used the Cute Fruit stamps instead.
So now it's your turn! Make a kid-tastic card and don't forget to keep it CAS, then share your creation at the Paper Players blog. Have fun!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Cute Fruit, Rough Edges Alphabets
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake
Paper: Thick Basic White, card from MPP kit
Accessories: Mini Dimensionals

What a hoot, Christy! You can't help but smile at a banana with a mustache. I bet Ryan LOVED it! I know I LOVED hearing the story behind the card. Have a fun week...and thank you for making me laugh!
ReplyDeleteChristy, this is perfect! I love that you were inspired by your son's love of knock-knock jokes-couldn't be better for the cards for kids! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And it sounds exactly like my house, down to the disapproval of how darn grown up they all are...
ReplyDeleteLOl what a fun card and post!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is too cute! Ben would have loved this at Ryan's age. He has always loved jokes - his most favourite was:
ReplyDeleteBen: "Doctor, doctor I feel like a banana"
Me (doctor): "What seems to be the problem?"
Ben: "I'm just not peeling very well!" (Cue hysterical laughter!!!)
You're welcome ;-)
I love your stories about Ryan, and this one was hilarious! Such a cute card, Christy!
ReplyDeleteChristy, that story just made me laugh out loud! As does that moustachioed banana:-) what a wonderful kids card

I absolutely love this card, it just cracks me up LOOKING at it! Dana told me her first knock knock joke---the boo hoo one---but her punch line was "Haha, I made you cry!" I still tell that joke, LOL!
ReplyDeleteSOOOO funny! Love this mustache on that banana! I know Ryan loved it!
ReplyDeleteHow can it get better than a banana with a mustache? Well, Ryan's knock knock jokes, of course. Totally brought a smile to my face today!
