The dad joke that finally got a real laugh

My 5 year old was asking what the weather was doing and I said "It's raining cats and dogs." Without missing a beat he asked "Are the cats landing on their feet?" I've never been so proud of a question in my life. The kid's got jokes. Also I had to explain why that doesn't work the way he thought but still, gold.

The fact that a 5 year old got it is incredible. Most of mine go completely over their heads and I'm left explaining why 'interrupting cow' is funny for ten minutes.

5 years old understanding wordplay? That's a win. I'm still waiting for my kids to get most of my jokes. At this point I'm just telling them to myself.

Wait so did he actually laugh or are you setting us up for the punchline? Because the setup with the 5 year old is already pretty good.
