Once, a father was teaching his daughter how to ride a bike. He was running behind her holding the seat. But when he let go without her knowing, she rode a few feet and then fell into a bush. She popped out with leaves in her hair and said, 'Daddy, the bush wanted a hug.' It made the whole situation really funny.
A mother was reading a bedtime story to her son. In the middle of the story, the son suddenly said, 'Mom, the bear in the story has a funnier voice in my head.' And he started making a really goofy voice for the bear. It was so unexpected and funny.
I heard about a dad who tried to put his baby's diaper on backwards. He was so confused when it didn't fit right. The baby just looked at him with a big grin as if knowing daddy was being silly.
Well, here's a story. A dad was dressing his son for school. He put on the shirt backwards. When the son got to school, his teacher asked him what was wrong with his shirt. The son just said, 'My dad dressed me this morning.' The dad was so embarrassed when he found out.
A Christian mom I heard of used to have family prayer time every morning. This simple routine helped her children start their day with a positive and spiritual mindset. It also strengthened the family bond as they shared their hopes and concerns during the prayer time.
A couple went to a zoo. The man was trying to impress his girlfriend by imitating the monkeys. He jumped around and made funny faces. However, a little kid came up to him and said, 'You're not as good as the real monkeys.' His girlfriend burst out laughing.
One Valentine's Day, a girl got a love letter from her secret admirer. It said 'You are like a star in my sky'. But then she noticed the letter was in her dad's handwriting. Turns out her dad was trying to be funny and cheer her up as she was single that year.
Often, it's about parents not being fully aware of what their kids are doing. I heard of a story where a dad thought his son was doing homework when in fact the son was building a huge fort out of all the living room furniture. When the dad finally noticed, he was so shocked that he just stared for a while before laughing. Another element could be parents' attempts at discipline that go wrong. A mom might try to ground her daughter but forgets about it after a few hours and then wonders why the daughter isn't taking it seriously.
One common element is miscommunication. For example, a dad might think his son wants a certain toy for Christmas but actually the son just liked the color of the box it came in. Another element is over - confidence. Parents often think they can handle situations easily, like the mom who thought she could give her baby a haircut at home but ended up with a very lopsided cut. Also, unexpected reactions from kids play a big role. When a parent tries to make their kid laugh with a joke but the kid cries instead, it can be a really funny parenting fail.
The car - singer is a common character. You know, that person who belts out every song on the radio at the top of their lungs, no matter how bad they sound. In a roadtrip story I heard, this car - singer was so into it that they made the whole trip so much funnier, even when the rest of the group was initially embarrassed.
Well, there's the story of a stoner who thought the moon was following him home. He kept looking out of the car window and shouting at the moon to go away. It was quite funny.
One story is about a baseball player who tried to slide into home plate but his pants got caught on a fence post near the plate. He was left hanging there, unable to reach the plate and looking extremely silly. His team was laughing so hard they could barely help him.
