This Joke Proves Kids Can Be Smarter Than Their Parents

Whilst you're changing nappies and teaching your toddler how to use the toilet, you may feel like intellectually you have the upper hand.

But don't be fooled.

This joke, posted on Reddit by user Benno44, proves exactly just how smart children are. And that they're on to us.

This five-year-old has not only nailed the traditional 'knock knock' joke (which most adults wrongly believe are no longer funny), but clearly has the timing of a comedic genius.

Even some commenters agreed that despite their decades of experience in telling jokes, this was their go-to guaranteed laugh maker.

So pre-school child, we salute you.

Oh, and want to remind your parents that the days of pity laughter are well and truly over in your household.
