13 Year Old Puns

Smells like teen spirit

Those are the years you’re in your prime

I asked if he has an Uncle Chew. He hasn't acknowledged me in half an hour. I can't stop laughing.

A Qur'anteen

They have a car-mitzvah.

Because they're pro-teen

Actual scenario:

Me-“I can’t find my phone.”

Him-“have you checked your butt? Because I hear it can store a bunch of crap.”

Bruce Springsteen

13: I need a new butt.

Me: what? Why?

13: mine has a crack in it.

A K19!

As a non-native speaker I was kinda proud when I came up with this one.

Her: "she's too young for heels, like where's she going to wear them?" Me: "on her feet"

So my little bro (13), my best friend (23), and I (23) all play the video game Monster Hunter together. My brother is working on a new set of armor in it and said this to me: "I think I'm going to make the helm for this armor set last and have it be like the crowning achievement". So me (being a new dad) look him dead in the eyes and just burst out laughing at how amazing that was. He didn't even realize he had made a stellar dad joke.

Now I have gas money.

(My 13-year-old son told me that one.)

My 7 year-old, looking at our junk mail: "Papa, what's Capital One".

My 13 year-old chimed in before I could say anything:"explaination mark!"

Really proud of him!!

and I burst into tears. 13 years old and he still doesn't know my name is Brandon.

My three year old is getting into telling jokes . I just made this one up for her:

Why was Fibonacci afraid of 1 1 2 3 5?

Because 1 1 2 3 5 8 13!

Helping my 13 year old make his bed. It's a hot night and the ceiling fan is on.

"Don't flick the sheet too high, Dad, or else..."

Me: "Or else what?"

"or else the sheet will hit the fan"

I went to return a T-Shirt to Banana Republic today. The item wasn't on my receipt so they asked me to swipe my credit card to see if they could find it in my purchase history.

Cashier: "Hmmm, that didn't work. Sir, would you mind re-swiping, I want to try your card again." Me: "It's a T-Shirt, not a cardigan" My 13 Year Old Son: 🙄

He Torah ligament!! Courtesy of my 13 year old son who is soon having bar mitzvah. I love that my kids now make their own dad jokes.

Tonight at dinner, she looked at our 13 year old and said "We should make buns for Thanksgiving"

He paused for just a second, then responded "So, that would be mother-son bunding time?"

She sighed.

My 13 year old daughter's new boyfriend is named Brennan.

I keep calling him Brendon.

Every time, she replies "Dad, there is no D! It's BRENNAN. NO D! Got it?!?"

And I am just thinking to myself "Good, Good...let's keep it that way."

You say "Hey Zeus!"

Made up by my 13 year old.

At the airport at 13 years old, I was waiting at the gate to board. A school friend and her dad (who were taking my same flight) came over to say 'hi' and my friend quickly figured out I was flying alone.

My friend: "Daaaad! Why can't I fly alone? Doneorperfect can fly all by herself!"

Her dad: "Well, that's a very impressive skill, Doneorperfect. Daughter and I always have to ride on the plane."

I texted my 13 year old nephew about tonight USA v. Ghana game.

"Do you think we're Ghana win?"

"Are they ghana give us a chance?"

He was not amused.

So I'm currently watching all 6 star wars movies to prep myself for the new one coming out.

I just now finished watching Attack of the Clones. At the part where C3PO has his head attached to the battle droid, abs R2D2 removes it and starts dragging his head on the ground, 3PO says "this is such a drag"

Now as long as I can remember I've always HATED that line. I saw the movie for the first time in theaters when I was 16 years old and thought that little joke was the absolute dumbest and pointless part of the entire movie.

Now 13 years later I watched it again and when he said that line I just found myself laughing at it like it was actually really funny. I recognized that cringe in it but all kept laughing for like two minutes at it.

Does this mean I need to find someone to impregnate immediately?

Same thing goes with most dad jokes. Especially puns. Always hated them but have really been enjoying the posts on this sub lately.

...and my 13 year old sister has a couple friends over, one of them asks him "so, did your thingy come yet?"

Cue Dad - "Yeah! He's been playing with it all afternoon, too!"

Instant eruption of 13 year old laughter.

Dads, corrupting young minds since 2013.

So we say a blessing before the family eats dinner, and last night the wife brought home a stack of Hot and Ready pizzas from Little Caesar's. Since Jesus said, "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God" (Mark 12:17), I started the prayer: "Bless us, Caesar, for these your gifts, which we receive from your bounty..."

The wife was not amused. Got an eyeroll from the 13 year old tho!

I said to my 13 year old. He's at that age when he is starting to think he knows everything because he knows why salt makes ice melt.

He knows I'm a teetotaler.

"What do you know about making drinks?" he says sneeringly.

"I know how to make some drinks."

"Like what?"

"I know how to make rum and coke. I know how to make gin and tonic. I know how to make Shirley Temples."

There is a snort there.

"I know how to make vodka cranberries. I know how to make margaritas. I know how to make red wine."

He finishes the fries he is eating at the counter island in the kitchen and starts to head out of the room.

"Do you know how to make a red wine?" I call after him.

He turns around and looks at me, still chewing.

"How"

"Tell them about 1991."

"What?"

"That is when the Soviet Union fell, all the reds were whining."

True story.

This morning, my 5 year old (Definitely not really named H) and I were discussing the hardships of having to attend (all-day) kindergarten nearly every day (on his third day). So, we applied some estimates and came up with the following:

Me: "So, there are about 200 days you go to school this year. And, since you're in kindergarten, you have at least 13 years of school. So you have about 2600 days of school left. At least."

H: "...Okay..."

Me: "But, do you have to do a week of school today? Or just one day?"

H: "Just one."

Me: "Right. And you can handle one day. You've already done that twice, and you liked them both."

H: "Yeah."

Me: "So, you can handle this, right? Just one day at a time."

H: "Yeah, I can do that."

Me: "So, do you want to hear a dumb joke?"

H: "Sure."

Me: "How do you eat an elephant?"

H: "What?! I dunno."

Me: "One bite at a time."

[H groans, flops down on the bed, and starts maybe-playfully kicking at me]

Me: "Hey, I told you it was a dumb joke."

H: "But I didn't think it would be that dumb."

Me: "You should know by now that if I say it's dumb, it's really dumb. Now, get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs."

[H invokes his future-teenager self and groans me out of the room]

13 year old, trying to be funny: Doesn't "oui, oui" in French mean "I have to go to the bathroom?" (nobody laughs)

Me: sounds like you need to brush up on your "European" languages. (over pronounced you're - a - peein'")

Everybody but the kid laughed. someone had to explain it to him. It was great.

So we are all standing around eating dessert and my girlfriend is explaining to my dad how she burnt the cookies. I attempt to quell her stresses by telling her "don't worry, me and my dad are crisponians and have a deeper taste for crisp". My father responds with "I may be a crisponian but this might be crisponite". Everyone in the room was laughing except for my 13 year old sister, it was priceless.

This is the same guy that, on a road trip (shortly after the wendy's "finger in chili incident"), was trying to persuade us to visit the establishment whilst passing by. When i said i didn't want to he said "What's the matter don't you like finger food?". He followed up with "Wendy's: We put a little bit of ourselves into everything we make.". And finally simultaneously made every passenger pee their pants when he raised a clenched fist and said "WENDY"S! WERE #1!!".

My whole family is very, very white.

So my brother and I are at an NHL hockey game. I forget who was playing. My brother and I had gone to get some snacks are where trying to get my dads attention. We called his name, we waved, we screamed, we screeched, and nothing would get his attention. Finally we determined that we get his attention by calling the pet name he used for us when we were getting into mischief.

... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... COTTONPICKER!!!

At that moment 3 huge black guys turned around. I wondered for a second why they looked like they wanted to murder us. I had never actually parsed the word cottonpicker before; but in the second second I did. Took till the third second until I realized the rascist connotations of that term, and why 3 huge black guys might have some ill will towards us for screaming it so flippantly. I can only imagine how my 13 year old eyes looked as I processed this information. By the forth second I had grabbed my brother and we were running. We didn't stop for 10 minutes. We couldn't go back to our seats for the whole game since these guys were sitting right behind us.

After the game I let my father know how pissed at him I was.

TLDR: Dads don't have rascist pet names for your kids; you may get them killed.

Dad: Hey, what does M•O (pause) P•H•E (pause) A•D spell?

13 years old Bokanovsky: "mowfeeadd?"

Dad: shit eating grin Mophead!

Bokanovsky: hangs head in shame
