Ha-Ha-Ha-Halloween

I didn't post yesterday's doodle, but it was spookily themed just like today's since it's Halloween.

Yesterday's joke went over fairly well, though I did have to explain to some kiddos that boogie means dance.

Today's joke has an even bigger word in the punchline. I think the boy will get it because we've done some activities with fossils, so he's familiar with petrified wood.

Happy Halloween!

Light Reading

The boy is a huge fan of comics. He likes everything from Teen Titans Go to DC Superhero Girls. Every couple of months we wander into our local shop and I let him choose at least three comics to bring home. He read five before bed last night. I felt he would appreciate today's joke.

Some of the other kids didn't get it. The boy loved it.

Birthday Breakfast

Today is my birthday. The joke has nothing to do with that, but does pertain to breakfast, so my alliteration in the blog post title holds up.

Maybe Tink should have been grumpier. She doesn't seem like a fairy who would enjoy cooking.

Double Doodle

This week is barreling by, and it looks like Wednesday's doodle never got posted. That means you get a double dose of puns today. It's a shame yesterday was forgotten. The joke went over really well with the kiddos.

The boy loved it. The third graders loved it. Mussels were a huge hit.

Here's hoping today's joke is just as well received, though one of my onion rings looks more like an onion wearing a rubber band.

Dab Cat

In case you haven't been around any small children within the past two years, the dab has become their new favorite. The boy does it all the time. So do other kids at school. The appeal is lost on this old lady, but I figured the dance move would be a hit in today's doodle.

I was correct. He loves dab cat.

Tasty Tree

This joke is coming to you courtesy of one of my third grade friends. She told me this joke, and I answered with 'palm tree.' I liked her answer better.

Two Good Answers

I had multiple kiddos give me a different answer for this joke yesterday, and I think their answer was just as good as the punchline from the joke book.

The thought the answer should be cupcake. I feel that's a valid response.

Veggies and I Have Something in Common

It should come as no surprise to you that corny jokes are my favorite. Apparently, vegetables feel the same way.

I asked the boy whether I should draw corn on the cob or candy corn. He chose the latter.

Toadally

Today's joke might be a hard sell for some of the kids. I'm fairly confident the boy will get it since his papa has a totem pole tattoo on his leg. Unsure how many others are acquainted with totems.

I might make this doodle into a painting and gift it to said papa. We'll see how motivated I feel later.

An Extra O

I was going to draw a cow eating string cheese for today's doodle, and then I realized that would be impossible with hooves.

Also, it would be weird for cows to eat cheese right? Maybe not if it was baby cows. At least, less weird. This joke took me to an unexpected existential place.

Needs More Color

The boy brought me a new joke book last night, and I promised I'd use it for today's doodle. It claims to be filled with Awesome Jokes. We'll see how well it lives up to its name.

I apologize for how dark the pic is. It was a dark rainy morning here and if I use a flash, the counter does weird reflective things.

Hard to Find a Good One

So, I've mentioned before that I think this joke book is running out of steam. I had to flip through a lot of pages this morning to find one I thought the boy would understand. I'm confident that this one will go over well, but pretty sure this book will soon be retired.

Buggy Double

Looks like my forgetfulness has begun in full force. In all fairness, I remembered last night that I hadn't posted the doodle, but opted to go to bed instead of going back downstairs to type up a blog post. Sleep will beat productivity every time for this mama.

As a result of yesterday's joke, I discovered that a lot of kids think termites eat ants.

As a result of their misguided beliefs regarding insect diet, I had to explain this joke multiple times.

Maybe we'll have better luck today. People still eat tuna, right? I'm not the only one picking up a can when I go to the grocery store? Full disclosure: we don't eat BumbleBee Tuna, just generic. We'll see if the boy gets this one.

Two for Tuesday

Here follows the first of what will most likely be many double posts. For the first time this year, I forgot to post the daily doodle. It might be a record for me. I'd been doing so well at remembering.

Here's yesterday's doodle. In hindsight, I should have save this one for Halloween, but I'm sure I'll find some others that will be just as creepily delightful.

Today's is another mash up joke, but covers the boy's favorite subject: the weather.

Smelly

The insect jokes this week have been a big hit. I don't know if it's because kids like bugs or the punch lines are just obvious enough that the kids understand them. Either way, the past few days have brought a lot of smiles.

Looks comfy

I'm posting this later than normal, so I know how today's joke was received by the masses during lunch. I think it's been the week's favorite joke so far.

Favorite Day!

It's picture day for the boy today. While everyone else in the neighborhood put on their best, my son wore gym shorts and a Minecraft tee. At least he let me comb his hair.

I know it's not Friday, but I didn't feel like sitting on this joke for two days. Full disclosure: by Friday I would have forgotten all about it.

Mini

We had a pop quiz at breakfast this morning to make sure the boy knows the name of Mickey Mouse's girlfriend. Otherwise, today's joke wouldn't have worked.

Shouldn't There Be Two?

There's something about today's doodle that I adore. I'm not quite sure what it is exactly, but I really love this sketch. The joke is okay, and I discovered a lot of kids don't know this is an actual type of bird, but I really love the drawing.

Yes, he doesn't have arms and is a little mutant weirdo, but he's mine. And I love him.
