Sometimes you do something and you think it’s going to be a great idea and then later you wonder what in the hell you were thinking. I did exactly that the other day.
Hayley loves jokes. She’s especially enamored of knock-knock jokes and she’s pretty good at remembering all the different punchlines for them. I decided out of the blue that I should teach her a regular joke, one that was guaranteed to make a four-year-old laugh.
Q. Guess what?
A. Chicken butt!
Say the word “butt” to a four-year-old and it is almost impossible that she won’t laugh hysterically. As expected, Hayley fell to the floor, laughing with ginormous guffaws. It was a hit. In fact, it was so incredibly funny to her that the first few times she tried to say it herself, she couldn’t because she would dissolve into giggles halfway through. The only thing that has ever made her laugh that hard with any regularity is anything to do with farting.
The downside to this new favorite joke is that for the past three or four days, I have had “CHICKEN BUTT!” yelled at me at least eight billion times after I wearily ask, “what?” to the question. It’s getting a bit old now, but apparently out of the two of us, I’m the only one who thinks so; she still thinks it’s the funniest thing ever.
Chicken butt.
I thought I was the only one with girls who think farting is funny! Growing up with two brothers and not being a fart lover myself, I thought it was just a boy thing.
And the chicken butt joke – my kids were all over it when they were younger too. We had variations on it as well – “Guess where. Chicken Hair!” and, my personal favorite – “Guess who. Chicken poo poo!” (Can’t just say Chicken Poo. There must be two “poos”.)
Other than in the context of this joke, my six-year-old has never really been comfortable saying “butt” – she used to spell it (“I fell on my b.u.t.t.”) and now she calls it her “biscuit” because one of her teachers tells the class to sit on their biscuits. Where do they get this stuff?
I did the guess what game with Izzy (3). He thought it was the most hilarious thing he had ever heard! Thanks for the joke tip.
Guess why?
Chicken thigh.
Guess who?
Chicken poo.

I always thought that was a cute joke!
I thought that I was the only one with the CHICKEN BUTT joke.. I used to pull that prank on my friends all the time..
I still pull that prank..
ME: “oh, hey Rob, guess what?” I say to him real seroious in the MIDDLE of a SERIOUS conversation.
Rob: “What?”
ME: “CHICKEN BUTT!!!” Laughing hysterically.
Rob: “Man you get me every time! You’ve been doing that for the past 15 years that I have know you!”
allright im a bit childish but i say the joke to my friends back home alot and they caught on and they reply hmm? instead of what so any one no wtf rhymes with hmm cause i got nothing
lolol
It depends on when you say it… my friend Rob, (Whom I ALWAYS get this joke with) Started catching on… what you need to do is stratigically place the question in the middle of a conversation…
or give a high five and say..
DUDE ! Guess what!!
What?
Chicken BUTT!!!!
lolol
Yes, it is childish.. but,, (no pun intended) what the hell, you gotta pass the time some how.
I told my 4 yr old daughter this joke to, and she loved it. Now that she is 17 going on 25, this is one of the few things we can just sit back and laugh about. I don’t know if you check in on this posting or not, but enjoy her annoying jokes, and love her giggles. My 12 yr old son will not say what to anyone, he simply answers with hmm…
