A Random List of Puns

I try to post puns on my personal Facebook page at least 4 times per week. While I don’t always succeed, I come pretty close at sharing my cringe-worthy puns on a consistent basis. It’s hard work, but the the chance that someone will actually laugh at what I write makes it all worth the wasted time standing around thinking of how to make a pun out of whatever idea I have in my head.

We can never have too much laughter (or groans……sorry about that), so I hope to make this a recurring a post to share the collection of puns I posted for the past week or two and maybe any others I found and want to share. Besides being an easy post to write, I get to laugh at each pun all over again. Then another time when proofreading.

I’ll stop talking writing now, and give you the list.

  1. My teacher kept bugging me to write a preposition, so I finally gave in.
  2. The baby bird had trouble learning to fly, so it decided to just wing it.
  3. I saw a novel about crime and asked the bookstore employee if it was any good. He said it has it’s prose and cons.
  4. A great way to help the environment is to cut down on deforestation.
  5. His candy cane collection must be worth a fortune. It’s all in mint condition.
  6. I bought a new book about infinity, it just goes on forever!
  7. When asked if he could help, the TV repairman nodded and said he just needs to get set to work.
  8. I made strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate ice cream for my short friend, but he said he can make some much better. He has a neapolitan complex.
  9. The fullback’s girlfriend broke up with him since he never made time for her because he was always rushing.
  10. If you eat sweets before dinner, your appetite will dessert you since more food will seem off-pudding.

Hopefully these, or at least one of them, put a smile on your face. Please share with others and keep an eye out for the next installment!

How to Make a Ponytail with a Vacuum

I remember when I first saw a video of a dad putting his daughter’s hair in a ponytail. Avery was still a baby with no hair for me to try this awesome method out for myself.

Keep. The. Vacuum. Away!

Fast forward to today and she has plenty of crazy hair to vacuum. Going Mom is much better at the everyday, normal way of putting her hair in a ponytail, but my clumsy hands simply will not allow this. Luckily, I have the power of the vacuum on my side!

Here’s my demo of how to use the vacuum to put hair up in a ponytail:

An added benefit from this method is that any bugs or dirt get sucked up from her hair too. Hopefully she has none of that, but you never know. I’m just glad she’s so accepting of having a vacuum sucking up her hair as daddy tugs and twists in an effort to “style” the crazy curls.

Have you tried an out-of-the-norm method for styling hair?

What do you think about this vacuum method?

What Happens When You Ask Your Toddler Not To Whine?

Just had to share this with you today. Our toddler daughter has a habit of honing in on us and asking to be picked up. Daddy doesn’t get the whiny request as much as mommy, but it’s usually when my wife and I are trying to have a discussion. Such is life with a toddler, huh?

Helllllloooooo, is anybody paying attention to me?!

Lately, we’ve been telling her not to whine when asking for “Please mommy, up.” and trying to teach her to say please and thank you. She’s usually good at using manners, but we happened to catch a different response that, technically, isn’t wrong.


Now that she knows it’s cute and sees mommy and daddy getting a kick out of it, she does it all the time. And, well, it’s hard not to just laugh and accept our deep-voiced daughter.

If we could manage, I’d love to share her request for more goat cheese, green smoothie, or anything else in this low tone. Maybe we shouldn’t feed her sarcastic tendencies, but it’s just so hard to resist!

Have you ever had your kid respond in a way you weren’t meaning but was still correct as a technicality?
