Dear Reader,
I can’t think of a single useful or witty thing to say to you today, so I am simply going to pass only two jokes that were recently submitted at JokesByKids.com (and approved by Vicky, our trusted Joke Editor.)
From Leo, age 5, Bethlehem, PA

From Fizly, age 9, Singapore
Ms. Jessie: “Jerry, I hope I didn’t just see you copying Sally’s math test.”
Jerry: “I hope you didn’t either.”
Want more? There are 4301 more jokes (submitted by kids from around the world) at Jokes By Kids. You can also submit your own joke (even if you are not still a kid) here.
Enjoy!
See ya on the Net,
