Sunday Dinner Puns

Cold

Me - Pea falls from fork onto ground Dad - I see we have an esca-pea Me - groan

A critical mash.

My ma is making a big dinner on Sunday and my pop called to ask if we wanted to go over Sunday for pig butt and turkey boobs.

At my house, whenever we have chicken for Sunday dinner just before we all tuck in he says. "I've done the chicken a little rare this time" - then chuckles to himself for a while.

How do you keep a rooster from cock - a-doodle-doing on Monday morning?

Eat him for Sunday dinner .....

Having roast pork for Sunday dinner, which needed to be scored to make crackling:

Mum: The meat needs to be scored.

Dad: 5 out of 10.

Every Sunday, my family gathers at Sunday dinner (England here) and we have a roast. More often than not, we have roast chicken. We know it's coming, we expect it, yet still we think that maybe, just maybe, this will be the week that my dad doesn't tell THE joke.

My mum serves the food and asks "who wants a piece of chicken?" Then comes the response from my dad.

"I don't like chicken. It's fowl." He then proceeds to eat most of the chicken, while laughing to himself.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

It was Sunday dinner and my mom was telling the family about the last day at her old job.

Mom: Yesterday was a sad day, oh wait sorry, Friday was a sad day, yesterday was saturday

Dad (sounding sincere but knowing exactly what he is doing): I'm sorry to hear that honey. So is today the saddest day?

after a confused look from my mom, and a shared smirk + head shake from my brother and I, my dad then begins giggling to himself and basking in his own cleverness.

A little bit of context: we're finishing dinner and talking about the weather. My mom says today's storm wasn't as big as forecasted, and my dad comments that another storm is predicted to come on Sunday.

I say, "Well then shouldn't they call it Rainday?"

Got 2 groans and a half-hearted chuckle. Totally worth it.
