Culture

As a new mom of an 11-month-old, married to a new dad of aforementioned 11-month-old, my life feels like a seemingly endless loop of sippy cup and poop jokes. You name it, I’ve seen it — and lived it, and probably laughed about it. But here’s the thing about parenting jokes: They’re typically only funny because you’re delirious and your child just spat pureed plum at you, or else they sink like a super absorbent swim diaper. It’s rare that a comedy about raising kids hits exactly the right notes, with nuanced humor and smart observations — but it can be done.
