Bard To The Bone

Mum: “I just met the neighbours. They seem nice. They have two boys and a dog.”

Me: “What are their names?”

Mum: “I forgot their names, actually, except the dog!”

Me: “Ha. So typical of you. What’s the dog called?”

Mum: “Hamlet.”

Me: “Is he a Great Dane?”

Mum: “…no? Why?”

Me: “Never mind.”

Dad: *Penny dropping.* “Ha!”

Mum: “What is it? What am I not getting? Is it a dad joke?”

Dad: “More like a dead dad joke.”
