Knock Knock... Who's there.... Boo.... What's Bu?

(Zach writing)
This is about telling a joke to kids at an international school. The kids at the school speak fine English but there are just some words, for example "puberty", that they just don't get. Also sometimes there is a name that they don't know or it doesn't register who they are for 5 seconds. There is one joke especially that NO ONE gets. Here's how the conversation goes:

Me: Do you know how Justin Bieber broke his arm?

Kid : Who's Justin Bieber?

Me: He's that singer remember.

Kid: Oh yeah with the high voice.

Me: Right, so why did he break his arm?

Kid : I don't know

Me: He fell off a latter trying to reach puberty. (ha ha)

Kid: Whats puberty?

Me: Like when your voice gets low and you get hair on your body.

Kid: What???

Me:  (Groan) never mind.

Kid: No, tell me

Me: Its not worth it.

Kid: O.K.
