Make Room In Your Schedule For These Time Jokes And Puns

As a kid, time moved so slowly. One day at school or an afternoon nap could feel like an eternity, but on the other hand, summers seemed to last forever too. Now, we’re lucky if we even know what day of the week it is — never mind having a solid grasp on the passage of time. Sure, we may be the ones teaching our kids to tell time, but sometimes it can feel as though all the clocks in your home are broken because they all seem to be losing hours. Seriously, we could sit here all day making time jokes and puns, poking fun at ourselves and our mortality and how one night we went to bed as a teenager and then somehow woke up in a middle-aged person’s body.

However, we all have better ways to spend our time. And that includes giving yourself a minute to read these time jokes and puns about making time fly. Your funny bone will thank you!
