Little Johnny, aged 7, came home from school one day and asked his dad:
βDaddy, where do I come from?β
His poor father started sweating, knowing that one day his son would want to know all about βitβ.
He looked around for his wife to take on the explanation, but she was out at the shops.
It was no good, his father thought.
βItβs time he knewβ and took the young lad to one side and explained how mummy and daddy met and then married and wanted to produce a baby and, well, you know the rest.
After much awkwardness and embarrassment, after nearly an hour, the dad finally reached the point in the story where his son was born in hospital.
The young boyβs face just stared back, mouth open and speechless.
βSo, tell me son, why do you ask?β
The boy, still in shock, said.
βBilly Clark in our class, said he was from Chicagoβ

Detective Johnson and detective Smith were investigating a murder that occurred next to a playground. The only witnesses to the murder were four children, a brother age 3 and sister age 4, and a different brother (age 7) and sister (age 8).
The children all lived in a nearby apartment complex. The younger siblings lived in apartment 8D and the older ones lived in apartment 9D. Detective Johnson advised Detective Smith that she probably shouldnβt bother question 8Dβs children about what they saw, since theyβre too young to have a reliable memory. He believed that Smith would have a better chance of getting good information from the older children, since only 9Dβs kids will remember.

Rant: Listen, I live in Florida it's too soon for hurricane jokes the situation here is too serious
Would you please just let everything blow over first..
Edit/update:
First let me say that we fortunately weathered the storm well, some damage, not major.
I grew up with a humorous dad, and I appreciate how humor can alleviate stress. Most of you "got it", some of you didn't, some (few) were offended.
I grew up with a dad who taught me the appreciation of MAS*H where Hawkeye Pierce made jokes and quips in a horrible environment (war).
My dad even joked when he got Covid-19, a serious issue at his age, he first told me saying "I tested positive.. I'm pregnant"
That said I want to say Thank You to those that got it.
Riding out a hurricane is a scary and anxiety ridden experience. Each time you commented you made me smile, chuckle and sometimes laugh. It brought a bright spot to an otherwise scary night, if only for a moment it would take my mind off of the raging wind and rain at my door each of the hundreds of times my phone notification went off as this post "blew" up! I can only hope it did the same for others who appreciate humor the way that my dad taught me to.
Thanks r/dadjokes
Godspeed to those still battling this storm and those that will battle the results in the days and weeks to come.
As Jimmy Buffet once said "If we couldn't laugh we'd all go insane"

Me: 16 right?
Dad: She had your aunt at 16, had a miscarriage and then gave birth to me at 17. You could say that she was a..(small pause).. busy beaver.
Ensue lengthy, full hearted laugh from him. Eye roll from me.
