Two Lips!

Q: What do you get when you plant kisses?Tulips
A: Two lips.

Explanation: You use your lips to kiss someone, that is, you use two lips: your upper lip (the one below your nose) and your lower lip (the one above your chin).  The expression “plant a kiss” means to kiss someone deliberately.  There is a flower called a tulip (sounds the same as two lip) which is typically planted in the fall and blooms in the spring.  This joke plays on the sounds of “two lips” and “tulips.”  Happy almost Valentine’s Day!

The High Notes

A: To reach the high notes.

Explanation:  Ahh, yes!  The high notes!  When one goes up, like in an airplane or up a ladder, one is going up higher.  The child cannot reach the cookies because they are up high.  High notes are the ones more to the right on a piano; in science the larger the Hz the higher the note.  But high notes are not up high; that’s why this joke is funny!
