So tonight I was ironing Nate’s clothes.

Did you just pick yourself up off the floor? Because, ya, if you know anything about me, you know I DON’T iron.  But, I love my hubby and I have a new Mac and a new iphone and stargazer lilies. So pick your jaw up off the floor, quit laughing and help me.

*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Princess looks at me and says: “Why did the chicken cross the road”

Me: “what?”

Princess: “Why did the chicken cross the road?”

Because I am a total FAIL, I say: “To get to the other side”

She giggles: “NO.  Because he wanted to”

Y’all. My kid fell on the floor giggling at herself.

Then, she turned the tables on me and the best I could come up with was, (and I am actually mortified at this so SHUT UP and help me):

Me: ” What did the boy ghost say to the girl ghost?”

*I know*

Her: ” I don’t know Mom, what”

Me: ” I think you’re Boo-tiful”

da-da-da-dum * I know, I know*  {hanging head in shame}

Princess, giggled hysterically and then prodded me for more and y’all, I’m blank.

I am on my knees. PLEASE help me.  I know that y’all have been here before.  Y’all see that pathetic excuse for a joke up there, HALP me!!!  I am a total FAILmom right now.

Please, share your cheesiest, silliest, goofiest jokes. I need them.  My 5 year old is hounding and my momnesia is looming.

Please don’t let me be a total failure here.  HELP!!!!

  6. Rachel, go to the library and check out some joke or riddle books. My students used to read jokes to me from these books by the dozens. Sadly I can’t remember a single joke. Love you.

  7. A third grader told me this one this week at school…

  9. This isn’t officially a joke, but I got super tickled this week when we were discussing which animals had spines and which didn’t, and my 12yod said, “When I kissed a frog…” I don’t remember anything beyond that, because we all cracked up! Her nickname is Princess…

    As to the lack of ironing, my dad told my husband that my stepmother irons everything, to which my husband commented that I iron nothing. I replied, “But I Photoshop everything!” I think that probably isn’t as impressive at work as nicely ironed clothes.

  13. I can never remember the punch lines anyway. That is the moment when I go, “Hey want to learn a new song?” I have one of those voices that get dogs to howling and cats to hissing. He rolls with laughter because I am so “silly”. Glad to be the joke son. Anything for you. 😉
