Salada bad jokes going around here!
I've written myself a little script so I can present a story hour at the Hero Camp Out. It could easily be broken up into 15-minute chunks (or stretched into hours if my audience begs me!) I compiled some jokes and attention grabbers from an excellent book called Storytime Stretchers by Naomi Baltuck. A few favorite fairy tales, (with new surprise endings) are condensed between silly songs with actions (I've found them in old Brownie Scout booklets and grade-school resource books) and some true stories about their ancestors (us) as little kids. It's been SO fun! But I need to go practice!

You are such a good Oma! :0) I bet your grandkids just love you to pieces. :0)
These are great Knock Knock jokes....no wonder your grandkids think your wonderful....so would I. You're the best Marty.
Can I be one of your grandkids? Is there a International Award for best Oma in the Universe? I nominate you!
You put all other grandmothers to shame! Especially me.
Very cute. My son loved his own version of knock-knock.
Knock knock.

Big bad wolf banana split.
Now it that funny? Nooooo. Does it make sense? Noooo. But when my son was three, he could and did tell the same knock knock joke over and over, laughing out loud until he fell over. Humble audience that we were, we simply laughed at his go time.
Great memories.
Oh you are too punny! What lucky grandkids you have!
Your grandchildren must have so much fun with you.
