I love my gene pool

Me (in best sweet-and-innocent-little-girl voice): "(Exhibits empty stapler) The stapler's hungry"
Dad: "It's OK. (Gets out staples) Loooots of staple food just here. We feed it a staple diet"

That's the sort of thing my father would come out with, although I probably wouldn't have done the girly voice ;)

I think it's a requirement of being a father to come up with bad puns.

It probably should worry me that I have to put on a girly voice.. oh well.

That exchange was followed up by Mum saying "You're lucky Thomas isn't here, you'd have got thumped for coming up with a 'Mummy joke'." It is usually her who comes up with the bad puns, but I think Dad just stores up his potential for less frequent absolutely awful ones half the time.
