A growing list of jokes for your kids

Every school day, I send along a note in my kids’ lunchboxes. I promise you that I’m far from super mom. Mostly, writing is my love language, and the notes evolved from there. My oldest is now in sixth grade, so just like I have gotten creative with the food I send, I have also gotten more creative with the notes. It started with Wacky Wednesday, which is when I send a joke for the kids or something funny in their note.

Now it includes a theme note for each day (some of which I’ve shared on here before).

Motivation Monday: an encouraging quote
Truth Tuesday: a Bible verse
Think or Thank Thursday: an interesting fact or something I’m thankful for about them
Fun Friday: stickers, fun facts or just something silly

I use paper from the Dollar Tree and a sticker or two on each note per day, because I love stickers! I keep a folder of all the supplies in a drawer in my kitchen to make packing lunches easier. It’s definitely time to share some of our Wacky Wednesday jokes for kids. Who couldn’t use a good laugh at a clean joke?! Fair warning, I LOVE puns!
