Today, my son asked, “Can I have a bookmark?” I burst into tears—11 years old and he still doesn’t know my name is Brian. (lemmy.ca)

Ok... so. For the terminally slow?

Can I have a bookmark? = Can I have a book, Mark?

Thus demonstrating the importance of correct comma use.

It can be the critical factor when helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse.

l felt more shame about helping my uncle jack onto a horse, but he said he needed a hand or he couldn't get up.

Is that how he got the name Mr.Hands?

It's why horses are measured by hands

Yes, farm hands

Did you help your uncle jack off afterwards?

Or "Let's eat aunt Sally" vs "Let's eat, aunt Sally"

Oh man, I'm fucking slow

It took me a few read throughs as well, if i didn't know there was a joke in there, i wouldn't have ever got it.

[-] End0fLine@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

I don’t get it either…

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 22 points 3 months ago

oh hi Mark

Great verbal joke. Doesn't read as well as it sounds.

[-] Eggyhead@kbin.run 10 points 3 months ago

Your 11 year old knows what a real bookmark is?

[-] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think this could be more obvious if you work in handing your son a book with a tear in your eye or something. Great premise though!

The really sad part is that it was my daughter and she is 32....
