Happy Last Sunday of April!
April is the proud owner of one of my favorite jokes: If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? (Answer: Pilgrims!)
My oldest is just at the point that he understands it. The youngest still is in the stage that he giggles madly because everyone else is. My husband just rolls his eyes when I start. All in all, it’s not too bad. And I trot out the jokes whenever I feel like it because, well, why not? Sometimes silly jokes are the best ones.
Do you have any good silly jokes like that? I’m always on the lookout for some new ones to torture my family with share with my kids. Leave ’em in the comments if you do!

I don’t remember any silly jokes right now but my author friends Carol Moncado and Susette Williams keep my husband and me entertained with theirs.
Jill Weatherholt says
I’ve never heard of your April showers joke, Elizabeth. That’s cute! I can’t think of any silly jokes at the moment, but a good laugh is always the best medicine. I love that meme…cute boots!
Elizabeth Maddrey says
I’ll keep my eyes open on FB :)
Elizabeth Maddrey says
Ha! Well I’m glad I could share it with you. And those boots caught my eye and I had to use the picture. And it’s from pixabay, would you believe?

Renate says
Love the photo on this rainy Sunday! With unusually warm fluctuating weather we had April showers and April flowers. Can’t really think of any family jokes, except play on words when the kids mispronunce words. With many of my former high school English students graduating from college, getting engaged or married, or having their first child my favorite line is to wish them the best as they start a new chapter in their lives. Happy Sunday and happy writing!
Elizabeth Maddrey says
We had a lot of April flowers this year also. :)
