"To drink kava, you must not break the shell."

So I told my 11 year old the "dad joke" I found in a list of "betst/worst Dad Jokes":
"A ham sandwich walks into a bar. It asks the bartender for a beer. The bartender says 'we don't serve food here' "
She did not laugh, so I made sure she was clear on the concept of what a bar is, what a bartender is, etc. Basically explained the fuck out of that joke to her. She still did not laugh. Then she said, "Daddy, I get the joke, it's just kind of weird and not really funny."
