If your child is anything like my son, then when you laugh and say you’ve heard that one before… chances are greater than not that your child is going to try to create their own joke just so you will laugh and they will know that it isn’t a joke you have heard before. I decided that for Halloween, maybe a better treat then candy… would be a few new jokes. I have scoured the internet looking for only the best kid friendly jokes for Halloween. Share them with your kids… or even other parents to make the spookiest of all holidays a little funny for all the pranksters out there. Joke 1: Why didn’t the skeleton dance at the party? Because he didn’t have any body to dance with. Joke 2:  Why did the baker stop making donuts? He got bored with the whole business. Joke 3: What room does a ghost not need? A living room. Joke 4: Where do baby ghosts go during the day? A day-scare center. Joke 5: What do witches put in their hair? Scare-spray Joke 6: Where do spooks water ski?

You get a hollow wiener Here are a few funny little jokes to tell the older pranksters… The nurse walked into the doctor’s office and said, “Doctor the Invisible Man is here.” The doctor replied, “Sorry, I can’t see him.” Little Baby Dracula was chasing a man around the house when his mother walked in. The mother scolded, “Junior! How many times have I told you not to play with your food before you eat it!” Did you hear the one about the vampire that was seen crawling through the desert screaming, “Blood! Blood!” Monster 1: “Did you hear that the Zombie is going to marry the Invisible Women?” Monster 2: “I don’t know what he sees in her.” If you prefer to sing a song or two to spook away the fearful cries, here is one that we should all know. Now the key here is to sing this song along with the tune of 12 Days of Christmas BUT sing it with a Transylvanian accent. Go ahead… try it.
