Summer Son Puns

that way you won't take any fall damage.

His son said, "You know, you can use a rag to do this."

"What?"

"SUMMER BINDS"

I made this bet with my son a few years ago, and it worked great.

Dad: I bet you, if I can jump higher than our house. If I do, you will have to cut the grass all summer. If I don’t jump higher than the house I will cut the grass all summer.

Son: thinks for a while. Then agrees.

Dad: jumps a foot off the ground

Son: You lost!!!!

Dad: yells “jump house jump! See it didn’t jump I win.

My son is 6 and he reads everything he sees out loud.

I take a long sip from my giant 7-11 bottle, and he reads the label, "spring water", three times. He then asked, "Why spring water?"

Without a thought, I replied "Because summer water is too hot."

boy is getting ready for summer camp

mother: I packed butter, bread, and 1kg of nails

son: but why?

mother: what do you mean why? put the butter on the bread and eat it.

son: ok, but what about the nails?

mother: don't worry, I already packed them!

Surrounded by his family.

Trying to extract some final wisdoms from him and keep him company in his final days, his son asks "What's the part of your life that sticks out to you most Dad?"

He responds "I can perfectly remember my youth. Those summer days fifty years ago seem in my mind to be as clear and perfect as this moment now."

His son exclaims "Wow, fifty years! Your memory was always so impressive, even in your old age pop"

"But of course" his dad says back, "hindsight is 2020"

My son was a councilor at a summer camp for kids.

One day he came home from work and told me that he heard me come out of his mouth twice in one day.

Whenever we drove somewhere with the kids, the answer to the inevitable question, "how much longer till we get there", was 20 minutes, whether it was 5 minutes or 5 hours.

So, they were taking a bus load of kids to the baseball stadium and one kid asked, "how much longer till we get there", and my son almost bit his own tongue off when he heard himself say , "20 minutes".

While they were waiting on line to enter the stadium, another kid asked, "How long do we have to wait?" My son answered, "four minutes and 60 seconds." This elicited the response, "That's too long," to which he replied, "well how about five minutes".

He tried to bash his own head against the rocks.

I'm so proud. :-)

GF: My goal is to read 85% of my bookshelves before summer.

me: Is there really that much writing on the bookshelves?

GF: ...

GF: You're your father's son, you know that?

We were visiting relatives in Canada last summer, including my Dad's brother (so, my Uncle) and his son Brandon. We were around the bonfire one night and Brandon was carving something for his girlfriend Emerald out of spare wood (it actually looked pretty cool). My Dad and Uncle saw the thing, it had a heart that said "B+E" in the middle. Uncle: "What's that supposed to mean, 'break and enter?'" Dad: "Probably 'Bert and Ernie'." Then they laughed like crazy. They joke around like that all the time when they get together, it's pretty hilarious.

My son is driving back to college tomorrow with his friend Sommer.

Son: "I don't know how long I will be here Sunday because I'm not sure when Sommer usually leaves."

Me: "Summer usually leaves around September 20th"

I held up my hand for a high five but they didn't seem to care.

She was talking to her dad over the phone about what she wanted to do that summer when she mentioned she'd like to go to the beach.

Dad: "We can just bring some sand into the living room."

Her: "Well what are we going to do about the sun?"

Dad: "You know, I'm so bright that my Dad calls me son!"

It was met by groans by her and her mother and hysterical laughter by me.

I saw this picture on the front page and had I had to send it to my dad. This is his e-mail response.

"Hey, Konceptz

Holiday greetings vary. Summer funny. Others try to spring a trap on the reader. Of course, that works best on people who will fall for anything. My Mom always told me that when I winter the mailbox to be careful for booby traps.

See son, I'm trying to look out for you. Hope you have a great Christmas!"

Quite dadstardly of him...
