Darcy knows one joke. It comes from a Baby Einstein video friends gave us and goes like this:
Why did the bee go to the doctor?
Because he had hives!
She tells it without a good sense of comedic timing, but she's getting better. At dinner tonight (made much more delicious by a gift of roasted Hatch chiles gifted to us this morning), jokes came up and I prompted her to tell her joke. She did. And then did again. And again. And made us tell it to her. To get out of this rut, Michael searched his brain for a toddler-appropriate joke. He found one and posed the question to Darcy.
[Before I tell the joke (Darcy's way), I need to describe a page of her ABCs de Babar book. If one spoke French, each page is illustrated with many things that start with the letter for that page. On the "N" page, there aren't many (politically correct) words that start with N in English. It's supposed to be all about swimming (nager). But for us English speakers, there's a nest and there are some naked elephants.]
So, Michael asked, "Why did all the elephants decide to go swimming?"
And Darcy answered, "Because they were naked!"

why did the tissue start to dance?
because it had a little boogie in it!
Given the number of tissues we're going through these days, that's a very appropriate joke! I'll pass it on.
