Wow, honey, I never thought our son would go that far! Yeah, the trebuchet is really amazing. Go get our daughter!
I know you are telling a joke, but do you think it's appropriate to tell a joke about harming children?
It's just a joke. I don't actually want to hurt kids.
Jokes like that are offensive to many people and you should not tell them. Instead, tell family friendly jokes that everyone can laugh at. That way, you don't have to worry about upsetting someone.
Hell no!
Do you think family members would appreciate that joke being told about their kids? I doubt that they would. Telling nice jokes is a much better choice since nobody will be upset, and everyone can have a good laugh at them.
