Proud Mommy Moments: Candy Jokes

Proud Mommy Moment Time!  This is a weekly meme that Kmama and I co-host telling the proud and not so proud moments of motherhood. For more information-click here.  Grab the button and join us!

Every Thursday!

My kids like candy.  They get this from their father.  Remember the Jelly Bean machine he got last year for his birthday-- yea it's always full.
The Jelly Beans for the machine for his birthday last year
Lately the candy of choice has been Laffy Taffy, probably because we have a big bag of it.  As you may know Laffy Taffy candies have jokes on the wrapper. You know the ones like "Why did the skeleton go to the movie alone?"  "He had no body to go with"... da-da-dum.

Ryder has learned that here are jokes on the Laffy Taffys and will ask me to read the jokes to him, usually laughing before I even read the punchline.

Yesterday, he decided to do it himself.

"No, I will read it!" he said while holding his laffy taffy flat to see the words.

"Why did the toilet go to the bathroom?"  "Because it wanted to go potty and his horn was broken."

"Why did the garbage can go to the grocery story?"  "Because he wanted to throw everything away"

Well, let's be honest his jokes aren't much worse than the ones on the wrappers.

And just a totally random cute Ryder thing-- here is a video my Father-in-law made when they were visiting last week of Ryder golfing.

What is your Proud Mommy Moment this week?

  2. I LOVE laffy taffies!!!! Especially the yellow ones. I used to buy the big tubs at Sam's and eat all the yellow and pink ones. Then I'd have to wait for someone to finish off the purple and green ones so I could buy a new tub! :o) I wonder who actually writes the jokes for those things and why you never ever get the same joke twice!

    I love the video! Ryder is growing up so fast! And your father-in-law could be a sports broadcaster. Or any kind of broadcaster actually. He has the perfect voice for it!

  3. Ok first, it says the last Tuesday of every month up there for your button. Ok just wanted to make sure you knew, sorry.

    I'm not sure I get those last 2 jokes..... But I love Ryder golfing in the video. Especially the large ball he used. But the slow-mo was the best!

    2. Oh and no one gets that last two jokes-- two year old jokes rarely make sense.

  7. My kids love the Laffy Taffy Jokes too. My autistic 19-year-old still asks me if jokes are funny because he just doesn't get them.
