Me: Did you have a nice day yesterday?
Granddaughter: Yes, thanks, mum took me to the Barbie exhibition.
Me: Did you have to queue up?
Granddaughter: No, we went straight in.
Me: So, no Barbie queue.
Granddaughter No, there wasn't a barbecue.
Me: No, it was a joke. Barbie... queue.
Granddaughter: There wasn't a barbecue.
Me: No?
Granddaughter: No, we had lunch in a restaurant.
Me: That was nice. You and your mum.
Granddaughter: Yes.
Me: I won't do silly jokes in future.
Granddaughter: No! I like your jokes. I just don't get many of them.

Thirteen. Bright as a button. Doesn't do wordplay.

It's all in the delivery.
You should have paused before the words 'barbie' and 'queue', emphasising them while waggling your eyebrows,

What makes you think I wasn't waggling? The Groucho glasses, nose and mustache may have been too much though.

So there was no lol'ing? Let alone PMSL'ing or ROTFL'ing?

Sad times.

I think you’re optimistic if you think you can get a thread out of this. Not the worst dad joke I’ve heard but not deserving of wider attention.

I told my wife that I'd taken redundancy and was starting a new family business,

'We'll be making plastic draculas and with just the two us, you'll have to make every second Count.'

Nothing....

I farted in the Apple store, and everyone was upset.
Not my fault they don't have windows!

Walking along the Glencoe lochan with wife and daughter, we met a dog walker with an incredibly fat Beagle coming the other way.

teenage daughter," how on earth did that dog become so fat?"

me, "probably happened when it gave up smoking".

Nothing!

Likewise with my ten year old daughter. Just get a roll of the eyes.

What do you call a magic dog?… a labra-cebabrador. Doesn’t even get it. Never mind appreciate my efforts.

Still, it won’t put me off. I shall keep calm and conjur on.

Well I'm getting a thread out of guessing soup so I guess anything is possible!
