H: Mom, I want to tell you a joke.
me: Okay, I'm ready.
H: If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you? (he laughs) Isn't that funny?
me: What? That isn't a joke.
H: Okay. If you had a friend named Cliff, would you jump off him?
me: (chuckling) Uh, was that your joke?
H: Yea! Wasn't it funny? (he laughs)
me: Uh.....(trying not to smile)
H: Okay, here is another one! If all of your friends were named Cliff, would you jump off them? (he is laughing hysterically)
me: (laughing now, at the absurdity of this)
H: (encouraged by my laughter)If you were named Cliff, would your friends jump off you? If your friends were named Cliff, and they were on a cliff, would they jump off themselves? If your friends.....
On and on it goes, for roughly 20-30 minutes, because he doesn't know how to stop.
Thanks for coming to the comedy club. Don't forget to tip your waitresses!

and if your friends were named Cliff would they work at the post office and drink at a bar called Cheers before jumping off themselves?
Kid jokes are the best. Completely illogical except to the teller.
You do what you do out of nothing but true love, my hats off to you as a mom!
Mish, I think this whole thing started because he met someone named Cliff, but the only meaning he knew for cliff was the geological one. The name Rose and all the various meanings for the word rose are confusing for him. God help me if he actually meets someone named Rose!
Jackie, I know you do the same thing for your kids! :)
