The Classics: Vintage Mom-edy

These golden oldies have been around since before group texts… and they’re still funnier than your dad’s jokes.

Examples:

• Why did the mother broom ask for a day off? She was swept off her feet.
• Why did the baby cookie cry? Its mom was a wafer too long.
• Why did the scarecrow win an award? She was outstanding in her field. Just like Mom at every school event ever.
• Why did the computer go to therapy? Too many bytes of emotion. Same, honestly.
• What did the baby tomato say to Mama tomato? “Ketchup!” (Followed by a tiny veggie tantrum.)
• Why was the math book sad? Too many problems. Just like Mom… after seeing your bedroom.
• Why did the bicycle fall over? It was two-tired. Like Mom by 3 p.m. on a weekday.
• Why did the tomato turn red? It saw the salad dressing. And Mom always says, “We don’t flash our lettuce.”
• Why was the computer cold? It left its Windows open. Cue Mom muttering about heating bills.
• Why did the golfer pack two pants? In case of a hole-in-one. Mom always said, “Better overdressed than underprepared.”
• Why don’t skeletons fight? No guts. Mom says strength comes from within and snacks.

Bonus classic:
Baby broom: “Why don’t we ever go out, Mom?”
Mother broom: “Because we might get swept away.” Still a clean hit.

Examples:

• Why did the mom tomato sit down? She just couldn’t ketchup anymore.

• Why did the corn stalk? It was all ears. Mom says listening is seasoning for the soul.
• Why did the tomato date a prune? He couldn’t find a fresh date. But Mom says it’s what’s inside that counts… even if it’s wrinkly.
• Why did the carrot win an award? It was outstanding in its field. Just like Mom — especially when she’s cooking and dancing.

Bonus bites:
“You go ahead,” said the baby tomato. “I’ll ketchup.”
