Dishes who?

I was hanging out with my four year old nephew recently. Budding comedy fan apparently – well, knock knock joke fan. "Dishes who?" "Dishes is the FBI, open the door!" He can't get enough of that one.

My fave part was his attempt to get me with a classic...

Him: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?
Him: Orange.
Me: Orange who?

Him: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?
Him: Orange.
Me: Orange who?

Him: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?
Him: Orange.
Me: Orange who?

Him: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?
Him: Banana.
Me: Banana who?
Him: [Long pause. Look of confusion.]

And that was it. Meta!

"Banana you glad I didn't say open the door, it's the FBI?"

Your nephew may just be cultivating an Andy Kaufman-like persona. The kid's ahead of his time!
