2.0 out of 5 stars Not funny., March 12, 2007

By 

Gigi Ginger (Texas Somewhere) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Don't Kid Yourself: Relatively Great (Family) Jokes (Make Me Laugh! (Carolrhoda Books)) (Paperback)

As a parent, I was concerned when I read this book with my chidren. Not only did I skip several of the jokes because they were over the heads of my 6 and 7 year olds, but most of them were just not funny even to a child.

What had me concerned was that many of the jokes were sarcastic and questionable. For example: 1) Mother: How many times have I told you not to come home late for dinner? Child: I didn't know I was supposed to keep score. 2)Mother: Mickey, I can't hear you saying your prayers. Mickey: That's because I'm not talking to you. 3)Mother: Henry! How did the baby get all these bumps on his head? Henry: Well, you said he was a bouncing baby boy. But I couldn't get him to bounce.

About half of the "jokes" are how to back talk parents or adults. Some of the jokes are silly, but not funny. I found that too many were in bad taste. I give this book two stars for providing only two genuinely funny jokes. If you just have to take a look at this book, I'd check it out at the library. Don't waste your money.
