MODERATORS
"my kid" is more natural sounding and indicates parenthood a bit more obviously.
Reuse of the punch line within the setup diminishes the tension. Subsequently the payoff is less effective.
The punch line is that "son" and "sun" sound the same. "my kid" isn't a reuse of the punchline any more than "my boy" is, but it reads less awkwardly.
"My boy" is perfectly acceptable too. Might be a regional thing but it does exactly what you said.
Really? A joke critic?
There's an art to comedy and along with art comes the critique
Punchline in the title,
really?
Really
Do it though
Took me a minute. Nice. Taking this with me. You can't stop me.
You sound like a real dad :(
My inner Neil Degrasse Tyson wants to object, but my outer dad bod is well insulated enough to shut him up
Encyclopedia [Medium: Success]: A solar eclipse, an astronomical phenomenon, occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun's rays from reaching the Earth's surface. This event captivates observers worldwide, blending science with awe-inspiring spectacle.
Inland Empire [Heroic: Success]]: No, this is a creative brilliance encapsulated. Do not sully it with trivia.
Kind of funny how the critics never post dad jokes.
It took me way to long to get it. But I got it. Geeze, Dad
