Most of the jokes-for-kids books I read as a child were puns.
We called them “groaners” then. The aggravation/eye rolling in the tellee is the sought-for reaction.
Not sure exactly when “dad jokes” became the new term for the same old jokes.
because the humor you learned as “groaners” as a kid, hasn’t changed… but now you’re a DAD, so your kids started leaning them from “my Dad”… therefore they became “Dad Jokes”…
Sorry Amanda, but they’re going to have “wooden” expressions over that one. You may be “pining” for attention and sure, that joke was “oakay” but it left an “ashy” taste in my mouth. You’re “barking” up the wrong tree kiddo, don’t “palm” these jokes off on your sister, because of “copse” she’s going to get “red” in the face. Ugh, you’re “rowan” up the wrong river, and I’m “petrified” at the thought of how you “maple” more puns out of the “woodwork.” Admittedly I “ceder” what you did there, no matter how “plane” it was, I’m “lathe” to hear more. You’re only in “elmementary” school, but sometimes you can show traits of growing up to be a real “birch.” Just “trunkcate” your jokes now before you “branch” out too far, we need to stop these before they take “root.” Please, “leaf” it alone, it goes against the “grain.” “Bough” out now while you can before Selkie “twigs” out, you’re just a “sapling” yourself!
Okay, I’m “stumped” on more tree puns, I can’t “see the forest” from them anymore. Heh, sorry, guess I was a bit “knotty” there, but I can’t help it.
NOOOOO SHE’S GETTING INTO THE DAD JOKES TERRITORY!!!

Aaaaand what if I’ve never had children?
Am I just “old” then?
sorry to break it to you, but yes.
Of course you know this means war, Amanda…
So this is her joke board.

I was following them all until I got to elementary. What does elementary have to do with a tree?
Never mind. I just saw how you spelled elementary. ELMementary.
there are laws against people like you. paronomasics… also the gang at Callahan’s would be moderately impressed.
Yah, I “saw” that joke coming. It was “plane” to see.
