When Zootopia came out, my kids couldn’t get enough of Flash, the slowpoke sloth at the DMV. They would slooooowly repeat each line of the movie while creeping around the room. It was a miracle (and saved my sanity more than once!) because they were constantly moving, like Dash from The Incredibles, at that age.

As my kids got older, puns started to grow on them. They love searching the internet for the best puns to share at the dinner table. Even though some of the puns are slow to the punchline, we always get a good laugh out of them.
