My daughter is 5 now. She's discovered the joy of telling jokes. Unfortunately, her repertoire is painfully small. I've also realised most of my jokes are either not age appropriate or too situational.

What are best/worst kids jokes? Extra points for any that would make her teacher groan. Apparently she LOVES jokes. 😁

Nuts often are salted. A salted, assaulted.

That does not sound very age appropriate

What's inappropriate about a salted nut?

My parents told me this was my favorite joke when I was around your daughter’s age. Apparently I used the joke non-stop and my parents still laughed every time because of how much I cracked up at my own joke.

I would suggest a book of jokes specifically for kids. Like this one.

https://a.co/d/fzOsG4b

It's free on Kindle Unlimited. You don't even have to let your daughter know that you're getting them from a book.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Assuming Kindle Unlimited is a paid service, the book isn't free.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

everything is free if you know where to look for it πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

Did you know that the US government keeps and provides access to a database of dad jokes on fatherhood.gov, one joke at a time?

You could also snag this full dad jokes database from kaggle which contains over 13k dad jokes.

Hope you both enjoy!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Leave it up to lemmy to provide the link for government approved dad jokes...

Liberals... always going back to the governments teet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I agree. This is definitely an ideal context to talk about politics.

Did you hear about the huge sale at the Lego store? People were lined up for blocks.

I sat down for dinner at a restaurant, and the waiter asked me, "Do you want to hear today’s special?" I said, "Yes please." "No problem sir. Today is special."

I'd tell you a time travel joke, but you didn't get it.

I used to work at a toy factory making plastic Draculas. There were only two of us, so I had to make every second Count.
