Every time we liked one, we'd add it to our list and before we know it, the list had grown to be more than 100 jokes/riddles long! We thought it was due time to share these jokes with you all. Here they are, organized in a few popular categories.

  • Road trips
  • Mealtimes
  • Waiting in long lines
  • Car rides to/from school
  • In school lunches
  • Etc.
