“Sometimes when you pick up your child you can f “Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.” ― Jodi Picoult

In our house we LOOOVE a good dad-joke. You know, In our house we LOOOVE a good dad-joke. You know, the kid-friendly, punny, kinda make you want to roll your eyes but also can’t help but laugh at kind of jokes? Well, my own dad was always full of them (still is!) and it’s become a pretty funny dinner table exchange around here over the past two years. 

It’s pretty hilarious hearing the boys try to master the timing and punchlines to pull them off well! 

Here are some of our favorites -

Q: What do you call cheese that’s not yours?
A: Nacho cheese!
—
Q: What do you call a cow with no legs?
A: Ground beef!
—
Q: What do you call a fly with no wings?
A: A walk!!
—
Q: What do you call a bear with no teeth?
A: A Gummy Bear!!
—
Q: Where do cows go on Friday nights?
A: The MOOOOvies
—
Q: How do you know a dad joke is a dad joke?
A: It’s apparent!!
