I hereby nominate this as the official SDMB joke of jokes, to be enacted with equal parts vigor and reverence prior to the opening toast of all Dopefests.

I like that one because it reminds me of [the pretentious owl](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjlPqMKTk04).

A similar story about my oldest niece when she was about the same age:

Knock knock!  
Who’s there?  
Olive!  
Olive who?  
Olive you!

Cute, right? Then, encouraged by my positive response, she began replacing “Olive” with other completely random words, even though the joke no longer made any sense. Banana you! Hamburger you! Table you! And she got louder and more excited each time, until finally:

Knock knock!  
Who’s there?  
Duck!  
(Me, barely containing my laughter) Duck who?  
(~4-year-old girl) _ **DUCK YOU!!!** _

The whole room burst out in hysterics.

The guy who went to a Philip Glass concert once, got an enormous headache within a half hour, and had to leave to prevent my head from exploding.
