Moonie made another new friend in our local toy store window: Mr. Owl. The two of them had a ball swapping jokes the other night.
Moonie: “Knock knock!”
Mr. Owl: “Whooooo’s there?”
Moonie: “Baby owl!”
Mr. Owl: “Baby owl whoooo?”
Moonie: “Baby, owl see you later!”
Mr. Owl: “What do you call an owl with a deep voice?”
Moonie: “What?”
Mr. Owl: “A growl!”
Moonie: “What do you call an owl with a carrot in each ear?”
Mr. Owl: “What?”
Moonie: “Anything you want! He can’t hear you!”
Mr. Owl: “What do you call an owl get-together?”
Moonie: “What?”
Mr. Owl: “A HOO-tenanny!”
Moonie: “What do you get when you cross a cat and an owl?”
Mr. Owl: “What?”
Moonie: “Meowls!”
Mr. Owl: “What’s more amazing than a talking owl?”
Moonie: “What?”
Mr. Owl: “A spelling bee!”
Moonie: “What do you call an owl magician?”
Mr. Owl: “What?”
Moonie: “HOO-dini!”
Mr. Owl: “When does an owl say ‘mooo’?”
Moonie: “When?”
Mr. Owl: “When it’s learning a new language!”
Moonie: “What do owls serve at parties?”
Mr. Owl: “What?”
Moonie: “Mice cream!”
Mr. Owl: “Ooh, that sounds good. Excuse me, kid. I need some mice cream.”
And off he went.
