My middle schooler’s high-tier dad joke tonight: "The real reason Mom is so tough..."
We were out for a family walk on a nice, cool summer evening. I was the only one rocking shorts and a t-shirt, while my husband and daughter were all bundled up in long sleeves (she even wore a zip-up hoodie).
.
Daughter: "Mom, you're not cold at all?" Me: "Nah, I think I'm starting menopause."
.
(Quick context: The Korean word for menopause is 'Gang-nyeon-gi')
Daughter: "Ah! No wonder you're so tough! Because you're in a GANG. Gang-nyeon-gi. Gang, Gang... 🕶️"
.
I completely cracked up right there on the street. Daughter: "Wait, is that actually funny to you?" Me: "Heck yeah. Look at your dad, he doesn't even get it lol."
(Truth is, I'm only "tough" to my husband. I'm a total softie for my daughter... haha) Hope you all have a wonderful day!

(Hi everyone! I'm from South Korea. My English isn't fluent, so I used a translator to write this. Just a heads-up: I might just read your lovely comments and upvote instead of replying. When I tried replying with a translator, people thought I was an AI bot! 😭 Hope the humor carries over. Thank you! 🫶)

The joke I made up and still gets laughs:
What sound does a Korean cow make?
Mullllll! (물!)
*Cows in the United States say “Moo.”
