My dad is in the hospital and king of dad jokes.. I'd love to make him a little book

Hi! My dad had a heart attack last week, then went home, less than 12 hours later was back in with a one in a million fluke chance that he'd have complication. He's been in for a week now and was told he is nothing short of a miracle. I'm pregnant and can't really go see him often in ICU because of the very very sick people, but I wanted to do something special and thought i'd ask here. He is pretty down about the whole thing, usually pretty active guy keeping himself busy but I would love to create a little book for him to cheer him up. Nothing crazy but maybe some great jokes to keep him on the cheery side I might include a little art for him too with the joke. Thanks everyone.

Remember...

So my daughter is in a group that lets one kid take home a stuffed owl for a week, and write in a book about what activities they did with the owl, and return it for the next kid to take home.

This past week was her turn, and it’s due to go back tomorrow evening. So tonight while getting ready for bed I casually remind my wife that tomorrow was the deadline and to remember to write in the journal.

I say β€œI wrote it on the white board so that we all have a chance to remember”

She replies β€œYou may have to text me from work β€œremember the owl””

So I go to the next room and text right then and there: β€œRemember the Owl-amo!”

I could hear an audible groan

Teacher hit us with this one today

we were doing an activity in the book, and someone couldn't find the one we were practicing. Conversation went as follows:
Student: wait, where are we?
Teacher: in class.
