How Does Stages Of Not Understanding A Joke Work?

A joke is like a surprise that happens when you least expect it, but sometimes you need to go through different steps before you get to that surprise.

Imagine you're playing with blocks, and someone says, "I'm going to hide one block behind the couch." You look there, and nothing's there. That’s Stage 1: Not Understanding, you didn't get the clue yet.

Then they say, "Now I'll hide it under a pillow." You check under the pillow and still don’t see it. That’s Stage 2: Getting Closer, you're following the clues but haven’t found the surprise yet.

Finally, they say, "Look under the couch again!" This time, you find the block. That's Stage 3: Understanding, now you know what was going on all along!

Sometimes jokes work like this too, they start with something confusing, then give hints, and finally reveal the funny part. Just like finding a hidden toy, it takes steps to get to the surprise!
