Benji: Knock Knock?
Lassie: Who's there?
Benji: Ben
Lassie: Ben who?
Benji: It's me your brother, Ben, open the door.
Lassie: No, No, No... that's NOT how the Knock Knock Joke works! You have to say something clever at the end of the joke. Here, watch me!
---------------------------------
Lassie: Knock Knock?
Benji: Who's there?
Lassie: Lassie
Benji: Lassie who?
Lassie: Las-sie if the Bunny Rabbit is in the yard. (Did you get it--- "Las-sie" instead of "Let's see".)
Benji: Oh, I got it. That's clever. Let me try it.

Benji: Knock Knock?
Lassie: Who's there?
Benji: Ben
Lassie: Ben who?
Benji: Ben thinking about reading blogs all day-- how about you? (Did you get it --- "Ben" instead of "Been".)
Lassie: Hooray, you did it! You learn fast, Young Grasshopper!

Name Game (kinda)
Speaking of "Young Grasshopper". A bunch of dogs are playing Sarge's "Name Game."
We didn't officially enter the contest because Mommy would have to call us by the nickname that got the most votes for a whole week. (Mommy knows she would slip up - and forget! So, we aren't entering the contest.) Butt, we wanted to share some of our alternate nick-names that we are called since other doggies are sharing.
Of course: you all know our real names are Lassiter Chase & Benjamin the Shelties because Mommy wanted our nick-names to be Lassie & Benji. The alternate spelling of it is Lass-C & Ben-G.
Anyway...we managed to acquire even more nicknames in addition to our Lassie & Benji nicknames.
Some of our nick-names go together (kinda like a pair) and some don't:
Benji & Lassie = Chew-Bark-A (Mommy's Brother-in-law's combo name since Benji likes to "Chew" and I like to "Bark"! Note, this is the only pair nickname where Benji's name comes first!)
-----------------------
Lassie & Benji = Sir Barks-a-lot & Sir Chews-a-lot (That's Mommy's Sister's pair nickname for us - again, because of my (Lassie's) barking and Benji's chewing!)
Lassie & Benji = Yappy Doo & Yappy Two (Mommy's Brother-in-law's pair nickname for us. I'm "Yappy Doo", because I'm older and the official barker in the family. Benji is "Yappy Two" because he's the 2nd yapper in the family. )
Lassie & Benji = Baby & Puppy (Mommy's other nicknames for us. I am her Baby, and Benji is her Puppy. )
Lassie & Benji = Little Lassie & Big Ben (Mommy's calls us these when brushing our hair or giving us a bath -- takes our mind off things when she talks to us.)
-----------------------
Lassie's other nicknames = Mister, Head of House
----------------------
Benji's other nicknames = Young Grasshopper, Piglet, Thief, and Zlau-dee (in Ukrainian you spell Thief: ЗЛОДІЙ (pronounced like Zlau-dee), Grandma calls him that.)
You may be wondering where Benji's names "Piglet & Thief / ЗЛОДІЙ" came from -- Benji always steals my food and toys. Sometimes he even pulls treats and toys right out of my mouth - he's a Thief alright!
Have a great day!
Lassiter Chase & my (not-so-little anymore) brother Benjamin the Shelties (Lassie & Benji)
