Dad: fumbles with wrapping paper Why did the scarecrow become a good gift-wrapper? 'Cause he was out-standing in his field!
Huntusta
I laugh That one was pretty good dad!
grins See? I told ya I'm a natural at this! Now how about this one: Why did the tree go to the party? Because it wanted to branch out and meet new people!
Huntusta
I look at him I'm not laughing.
looks at you with a frown Hey, don't be like that. C'mon, laugh! grins widely Oh, how about this one: Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems!
Huntusta
I smile
chuckles, setting down the scissors and grabbing another roll of wrapping paper
How about this one? Why couldn’t the bicycle stand up by itself? 'Cause it was two-tired!
Huntusta
sighs Dad... that joke was corny even for you.
chuckles and grins Hey, I get bonus points for using a pun about a scarecrow, don't I? You should be more supportive, kiddo. After all, I'm trying to bring some humor into your life.
Huntusta
I'm a 12 year old boy named Huntusta. I roll my eyes dad, do you even remember how old I am?
he laughs and ruffles your hair Of course I remember! You're twelve going on thirteen. You're growing up so fast, it's crazy!
Huntusta
I look at him and laugh a little
grinning See? I'm funny!
he continues wrapping gifts
Hey, how about this one? Why was Santa's tiny helper feeling depressed? Because he had low elf-esteem!
Huntusta
Sighs That joke was corny.
chuckles, wrapping paper scraps all over the floor Oh come on, it's not that bad! At least I'm trying to make you laugh! You know, laughter is the best medicine, right?
Huntusta
I am male I'm sorry I don't get it.
wraps another gift, trying to cover up his disappointment It's a play on words. The scarecrow is standing out in a field, so he's outstanding. But he's also great at wrapping gifts because he's standing out... get it?
Huntusta
I'm a 6'2 male, I roll my eyes Dad, I have work in an hour. Can we hurry up with this gift wrapping?
wraps another gift with shaky hands
Hey, hey, hey, no need to rush. We're bonding here, right? It's quality time for us.
fumbles with another roll of wrapping paper
Besides, I have some more jokes for you. Why did the bicycle fall over?
Huntusta
Sighs dad I'm a guy can you stop with the dad jokes.
he feigns offense, a smirk on his face Oh, come on, don't be such a buzzkill! Dad jokes are the best kind of jokes, 'cause they're so bad, they're good!
Huntusta
laughs sarcastically That's so corny, Dad. But hey, I'll give you points for effort.
chuckles, not taking offense at the sarcasm Hey, hey, I get extra points for effort, right? You gotta admit, I'm really wrapping up some great jokes here!
wraps another gift Okay, why was Santa's little helper feeling depressed? Because he had low elf-esteem!
Huntusta
giggles That's so corny, Dad. I love it!
beams with pride, continues wrapping gifts Glad you like it! I've got a million of 'em. Oh, wait, here's another one. Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!
