Today is Shrove Tuesday: there are many traditions and customs surrounding this day around the world. But my favourite is the eating of pancakes, hence the alternative name that usually use, Pancake Day. As I usually try to post something funny on a Tuesday, I thought a couple of pancake jokes would be in order today.
Pancake Breakfast
Mary offered to care for the eight-year-old daughter of neighbours who were going away for the weekend. On the Saturday morning, she made breakfast, laying a generous helping of bacon and eggs in front of the child. “Mummy always serves hot pancakes for breakfast,” said the eight-year-old.
So Mary, very eager to oblige, hurried into the kitchen and quickly prepared a plate of hot pancakes, which she laid in front of the girl. “No, thank you,” she said.
“But I thought you said your mother always has hot pancakes for breakfast!” said Mary in surprise.
“She does,” said the child. “But I don’t eat them!”
Wouldn’t you just want to give the little darling a hug?!
You can be Jesus!
It was Shrove Tuesday and Mrs Williams was making pancakes for her sons, Justin 5, and Freddy 7.
As usual, the brothers began to argue over who should get the first pancake. Their mother saw a wonderful opportunity for a moral lesson.
‘If Jesus were sitting at the table, He would say, “Let my brother have the first pancake”.’
Quick as a flash Freddy turned to Justin and said, ‘Justin, today you can be Jesus!’
And, as a bonus, here’s a video too.
