Dad Jokes ...Ruined by Gentle Parenting

WANT TO HEAR A JOKE ABOUT CONSTRUCTION? I'M STILL WORKING ON IT!

And that’s no problem. We don’t have to get everything right on the first try, although I bet that can be frustrating. Do you feel frustrated right now? I do. Let’s take a deep breath and count to 10, and then you can help me finish my construction joke. It’s going to be hilarious.

What are the strongest days of the week? Saturday and Sunday. The rest are weekdays!

But weekdays each have their own strengths, and they should be proud. For example, Friday is good at being casual, and Tuesday is good at tacos. Can you think of something Monday is good at? No? That’s OK!

What do you call it when a snowman throws a tantrum? A meltdown!
