knock knock jokes...

Bryan: Knock, knock! 
Me: Who's there? 
Bryan: Knock, knock! 
Me: Knock, knock who? 
Bryan: Knock, knock, why don't you go open the door? 

Bryan: Knock, knock! 
Me: Who's there? 
Bryan: Radio. 
Me: Radio who? 
Bryan: Radio doesn't say "who". It sings a song to you.

Yes, we have been quite our corny selves this weekend and these were two of his funnier ones. 
Kristin was also eager to give knock knock jokes a try too.

Kristin: Knock, knock! 
Me: Who's there? 
Kristin: Toothbrush! 
Me: Toothbrush who? 
Kristin: Toothpaste!
Me: LOL

I had to laugh very hard. Coz every time I asked her for a knock knock joke, it's always the same one. And it was hilarious when she said it. It's like she couldn't make up her mind between toothbrush and toothpaste. Actually, it really isn't that funny. Alan thinks I'm just encouraging her when I roar with laughter. 
Admittedly it's still a long way to go comparing hers with kor-kor's, but it's a knock knock joke for a start. Besides, knock knock jokes are meant to be silly, aren't they? 

Hope your weekend has also been a good one filled with chatter and laughter!

May Day

Not crying out in distress, but just a little out of nostalgia. 

May First this year falls on a Friday, which means if we had still been bACk in Germany, we would definitely be travelling. It's a wonderfully long weekend, who wouldn't travel with perfect sunny spring weather of about 20 centigrade? Unfortunately, there isn't much to do here. A getaway has to be planned with Alan's and my working schedules. So we had to find contentment in the parks and nature reserves available in Singapore. 

We started the day in a garden. 
After a few rounds of slides, the heat was unbearable. And we retreated to the water play area to cool down. Actually, only the kids had a shower, the parents waited in the hot noon sun, baked! 


Then to avoid crowds in the city, we decided to make a detour to another park to have lunch among the greeneries. Yes, retreating into romanticism :) 

We ended the day with yet another destination into the greeneries.

All in all, we drove quite a substantial distance - peanuts compared with the distance we would have covered in Deutschland, but still we did do a little travelling today. 

The highlights of the day had to be bubbles. Our ever faithful play group decided to have some bubbly fun. What's there to do when the heat is unbearable?That's the only way we can think of to chill out: Kids had fun and adults didn't have to clean up :p 















Don't bubbles make you happy too?
