… Interrupting starfish. …
[/QUOTE]
I love that one too.
Also worth trying:
The Interrupting slug (either suck your finger and stick it in their ear, or if you know them really well, grab their head and lick their cheek)
The interrupting tortoise (best delivered after the interrupting cow or others):
Person 1: Knock knock
Person 2: Who’s there?
P1: The interrupting tortoise!
P2: The interrupt… ing… tortoise who?
P1: <sits in silence, as if about to say something>
P2: <waits>
P1: <continues to say nothing>…<makes a few chewing, smacking sounds, as if eating lettuce>… <looks around languidly>
I think my 5yos will love the interrupting cow, but dare not introduce interrupting starfish lest we end up with hands in our faces all day long. They like the jokes, but don’t ‘get’ the idea of puns, so they end up like the ones that Uncommon Sense hears…

I love the scene in Catch Me If You Can when the gmen tell Tom Hanks he doesn’t have a sense of humor. he says, “oh, ya wanna hear a joke.”
Gmen (excitedly): “yeah, tell a joke.”
Hanks: Knock knock.
Gmen: Who’s there?
Hanks: Go fuck yourselves!
I’ve always wanted to try that one out on a kid.

I tried the interrupting cow one on my 7-year-old daughter; she was not amused. The conversation went something like this:
Me: Knock knock
Mudgirl: Who’s there?
Me: Interrupting cow
Mudgirl: Interrup
Me: Mooo
Mudgirl: Mom, that’s not polite! You didn’t let me finish!
Me: Yeah, but get it? That’s the joke! It’s an interrupting cow, so it interrupted you!
Mudgirl: You always tell me it’s not polite to interrupt
Me: I know, but that’s the joke
Mudgirl: That’s not funny
Mwahahaha!
