James and Campbell are at the age where they have started telling jokes. All morning Campbell has been asking everyone "Why did the chicken cross the road?" she got the answer "I don't know." she replied "I don't know either." Until James came in the room and then it went like this.
C: "Why did the chicken cross the road?"
J: "I don't know."
C: "Because it wanted to get to Grandma's house!"
