Don't mess with the punchline, mummy

I should be sitting here at the laptop researching a topic for 'China Week' next week at school, but, as usual, I've been waylaid by the Great God Google and led astray into Blogland. So here's what happened today:

Daughter has to give a joke in at school for a joke book they are producing for Comic Relief's Red Nose Day so this morning we stood in reception, clutching the form to fill in, while she told me her joke:

"I know a joke!" she said

"Go on, then" I said, with pen poised, ready to fill it in on the form.

"What does a camel have for breakfast?"

"I don't know what does a camel have for breakfast?"

"Sand!"

She fell about laughing

"I think it's 'sandwiches' " I said, " 'Sandwiches ' is funny"

"No, mummy, it's 'sand' " she insisted, " 'Sand' is the funniest thing I've ever heard!"

"OK"

I wrote down 'sand'

I hope other people get the joke.
