Skinny

A tutor who tooted a flute
tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two the tutor,
"Is it harder to toot,
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

Also,

Fatty and Skinny went to bed. Fatty rolled over and Skinny was dead.

When I was younger, my brother Josh and I both got a joke and limerick book from our mom. That night we stayed up late reading them out loud to each other and laughing so hard! We especially liked the one about Fatty and Skinny. We read that one over and over, laughing harder each time. After Josh left to go to his own room, we heard Heather crying hysterically in her bedroom. Our mom went to Heather's room to see why she was so upset, and Heather responds: "Skinny is under my bed!"

  1. What was the name of the book? I think we had the same one and I've been looking for it for ever.

  2. The book is called "Jokes For Children" by Kohl and Young. I can't believe I still have that thing! But, sure enough, there it was on my bookshelf!
