We Ski Puns

And he couldn’t pick them and he said “I’m going to sleep on it.” And with no hesitation I said “don’t do that! You’ll break the lense!” I don’t even know how I had that reflex, because I’m not a dad…

Everything started off well, but things went downhill really fast.

CrossFit.

but we went skiing instead. I felt misled.

Every year on our family ski trip we drive by a store called "Super Shoes" on the way to the mountain.

He proceeds to say "I'll have the soup please!" and then the car erupts in laughter.

Every time we would go water skiing or wake boarding my dad (or whoever was driving the boat that time) would start the engine, get the okay from the person in the water holding the rope attached to the boat, and then say:

"Okay, follow me."

Setup:

  I didn't have enough speed to get past a flat area that we reached, and we were on our last run of the day. I had to unbuckle one of my boots and pushed myself to the slope. My dad was worried that we were running late and they would send ski patrol to guide us down. (We got on the lift last minute)

  The joke:

  dad: "what are you doing?"

  me: "I was getting close to the wooded area (there was a fork) and I didn't want to run into a tree"

  dad: "well hurry up and let's skedaddle ski-daddle"

  I didn't get the joke until I was going back downhill, so he didn't hear how hard I groaned.

While speaking with my dad about time he spent in college.

Me: "So what did you do in college? Sit around and drink beer?"

Dad: "We had a local ski hill that we could use."

Me: "So you skied a lot then?"

Dad: "No, ya see the ski hill faced south and always had the sun shining on it. Mt. Ripley didn't have a lot of snow, believe it or not!"

We are on a ski trip in Colorado for his birthday and Christmas. We have to wake up early so we can get a good parking space and beat the crowds. Today is his birthday and our alarm clock this morning was the theme song to Hawaii 5-O. He turned 50 today. Hahaha.
